RE: ldap_simple_bind_s failed protocol error

Hi Keith

Thanks for your advice and patience on this one.

I've done some checking and found that authdaemond wasn't starting properly
so all the authentication was being done by authpam.  However now that
authdaemond (and therefore authdaemon.ldap) is running, the connection to
the email client is closed as soon as the password is checked.  I've
verified this by using telnet on the server where the connection is closed
immediately that the password is entered.

This must be down to the authldaprc settings.  The one that I'm really
doubtful about is LDAP_MAIL.  Does this refer to a field in the schema or is
it, as the HOWTO by J. Vriesman suggests, a UID.  If it is a UID, which UID
is it?  Is it vmail (113)?

I've checked the settings for /home/vmail/domains - these are 'owned' by
vmail.vmail and this is a system account with UID and GID both 113 and this
matches my LDAP_GLOB_UID and LDAP_GLOB_GID fields.  Incoming mail is put
into a user folder in the rvw.sytes.net folder within /home/vmail/domains.

It's a case of so near but so far!

Regards

Richard.

Hmm...

Courier won't let one log in if it can't cd/chroot to the directory
with the mail.  I would check that 1) postfix is putting the mail
where courier is looking.  (chroot for postfix could be a monkey
wrench here) 2) permissions/ownership are good for /home/vmail
