*I fixed my IMAP4 login issue!* Thanks for all the help.
One problem was having more than one set of documentation from which to
work. I initiated my "build" by following the work of Olivier Bitsch at
http://iabsis.com/EN/article/35-3/Samba4-installation and substituting
the "cookbooks" produced by Inverse in the "Installation Guide
<http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Installation%20Guide.pdf>" and the
"Native Outlook Configuration
<http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Native%20Microsoft%20Outlook%20Configuration.pdf>"
My objective was to "build" a server based on Trusty that used Samba in
lieu of OpenLDAP
The solution came down to three issues:
(1) I started by creating the "unprivileged user" described below . . .
samba-tool user create ldap --description="Unprivileged user for LDAP
lookups"
And, I substituted "[email protected]" and "ldapPasswd" where necessary.
The Bitsch configuration uses '/etc/dovecot/local.conf' and
'/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf,' as well as,
'/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf' as configuration files in lieu of
configuration files mentioned elsewhere.
I consulted the Arch documentation
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenChange_Server#LDAP_configuration_2>
as well as others, and I built the Samba AD DC from the Wiki
<https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO>
(2) After having created the "unprivileged user," I still had an error
connecting . . .
'/var/log/syslog' gave me the error, "Support not compiled in for passdb
driver ldap"
After a bit of searching, I came to the following suggestion -- "solved
by installing dovecot-ldap
<http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-March/058229.html>"
Voila! *Once I installed dovecot-ldap and restarted services, IMAP4
login succeeded!*
"dovecot-ldap" was not recommended anywhere I had found (not the Bitsch,
Inverse or Arch documentation) but it would seem to be VERY IMPORTANT to
the success of an IMAP4 installation using Samba "ldap"
(3) Two other issues I have found are as follows . . .
Creating 'sogo'@'localhost' does not work with MariaDB but 'sogo' AND
creating 'openchange-user'@'localhost' but simply 'openchange-user'
Perhaps it's simply MariaDB but 'localhost' does not play well.
I now have a WORKING Samba AD DC with Dovecot, Postfix, SOGo and
OpenChange, the only issue remaining is the completion of a substitute
for 'openchange-ocsmanager' in 'python-ocsmanager' but I can wait.
Thanks to everyone for their patience with me, and thanks for all the
suggestions.
