[tpop3d-discuss] RE: LDAP Authentication

[Thai Tran]

Hello everyone,
	Here is a copy of my tpop3d.conf:

mailbox: maildir:/home/mailspool/$(domain)/$(user)/
append-domain: yes
auth-ldap-enable: yes
auth-ldap-url: ldap://localhost
auth-ldap-searchdn: o=mye-znet
auth-ldap-password:
auth-ldap-filter: <need help with this portion>
auth-ldap-mailbox-attr: mailMessageStore
auth-ldap-mail-user: nobody
auth-ldap-mail-group: nobody

If it is possible for me to change my auth-ldap-filter to make the query
result in this way, I am sure that it would work:
	ldap://localhost/dc=$(domain),o=mye-znet??sub?uid=$(local_part)

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks ahead,
Thai Tran
