[tpop3d-discuss] ldap auth problems

[Thai Q. Tran]

Since you plan to login via uid only, I would suggest you to search for
that attribute.  Here is an example of how you can do your conf file:

listen-address: 0.0.0.0()
mailbox: maildir:/home/Domain/$(user)/
append-domain: yes
auth-ldap-enable: yes

# The ldap url specified above is very specific, if you support=20
# multiple domains you will have to be more general.
auth-ldap-url: ldap://localhost/ou=3Dusers,dc=3Ddomain,dc=3Dcom

auth-ldap-searchdn:
auth-ldap-password:
auth-ldap-scope: base

# The ldap filter below will tell it to search for your uid
# objectclass is optional, if you need more search for info about ldap
urls
auth-ldap-filter: (&(uid=3D$(local_part))(objectClass=3DmailUser))
# LDAP filter without object class
# auth-ldap-filter: (uid=3D$(local_part))


# I believe in your case the users home directory is where their mail is
# stored, if not correct it as needed.
auth-ldap-mailbox-attr: homeDirectory

# Exim stores the mail messages in the specified directory using a
certain
# user and group, specifiy the correct info.
auth-ldap-mail-user: nobody
auth-ldap-mail-group: nobody

Hope this helps...  The tpop3d site also has some helpful documentation,
if this helps please let me know.  If not sorry for leading you the
wrong direction.

Thanks,
Thai

Ok, here is my ldapsearch result, manual search works fine.

ldapsearch -b ou=3Dusers,dc=3Ddomain,dc=3Dcom "(uid=3Djohn)"
