That'll teach me for looking too quickly: the only things different from mine is the fact you don't look up the email address and you don't use prefetch.

Did you try tracing the LDAP server end (eg by upping the log level for your LDAP server or using tcpdump/wireshark?)

I'll shut up now before a 3rd foot goes in my trap!

Forgot to say that the lines below would be part of a file included thusly:

passdb {
  driver = ldap

# Path for LDAP configuration file, see example-config/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
}

userdb {
  driver = prefetch
}

userdb {
  driver = ldap
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
}

And in the /ettc/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext as well as the examples I gave you'll also need a line like:

uris =  ldap://myldapserver1 ldap://myldapserver2

(I use 2 servers with referrals to the master)

Also look up iterate_attrs and iterate_filter to let doveadm and other things iterate over accounts.

Hi,

That can't be the full output of doveconf -n can it?

You need to define (examples from my configs using qmail schema; your values will probably be different if you are using AD or openLDAP with a different mail schema)

user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,mailMessageStore=mail
user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(mail=%u))
pass_attrs = userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,mailMessageStore=userdb_mail
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(mail=%u))

Also look at the auth_bind parameter. Mine is "yes" because I'm using userdb prefetch as you can see from the pass_attrs param.

And you probably need to set up virtual users as well!

Hello Christian,
I tried what you suggested by adding "REFERALS off"
to /etc/ldap/ldap.conf and restarting slapd and dovecot, but the error
persists.

Hi Ron,

I didn't had the time to check all logs but the error log.
First thing you should check if there are LDAP REFFERALS enabled in
the systems ldap.conf.
I had a similar looking issue and it took me a good amount of time to
figure out that I had to disable LDAP REFFERALS globally.
This happened when using an AD as LDAP backend, but also applies to
Samba4 as you can see in the following mailing list thread:


http://dovecot.markmail.org/message/mjurv4fp4w65u2ib?q=Dovecot+LDA+LDAP+lookups+on+samba4+server+ends+very+often+in+timeouts

The settings within the systems ldap.conf might influence dovecot,
because libldap (openldap) functions might read the global ldap.conf
settings.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Chris
