Hi,

Almost done...
I have to be fresh tomorrow so I'm going to sleep.
I'm currently porting the auth_mysql to auth_ldap, this way :

having :

auth_ldap_host : hostname
auth_ldap_port : port (389)
-> this will go to auth_ldap_url = "ldap://localhost:389", fr example. 
(as soon I have time)
auth_ldap_base_dn :    ex : "dc=society, dc=com"
auth_ldap_login : login for admin auth
auth_ldap_pass : password of admin
auth_ldap_maildrop_attr : attribut containing where to put the mail (ex 
: maildrop)
auth_ldap_mail_attr : attribut on which we do the search  (ex : mail)
auth_ldap_uid_attr : the uid of the owner

first, we connect to LDAP and bind as admin
then, we search for the DN of the requested mail, and all attributes of 
the mail
We finaly bind as the user (with the provided password... this is how 
ldap do auth)
if the bind is successful, we return attributes

Do you have LDAP experiences yet ?
Do you think I'm on the right way ?

Have a good night, Cheers
