Hi Goutam I have never used the RPMS as such but compiled from source. Can tell you the files to lookup- their locations might differ in a RPM install.
there should be two files -> a) one for courier-authlib daemon config b) another for courier-authlib and ldap config (which will conatin the mappings between your ldap and authentication attributes desired by you) As a first step -> Pls increase the debug level in the courier-authlib daemon file -> /etc/authlib/authdaemonrc (in my case - the location could be different in yours) set DEBUG_LOGIN=2 (By default the logging is done in maillog, so pls tail that file for errors) Also pls check your /var/log/messages If you see an error there, pls post the same Secondly -> check the ldap mapping in /etc/authlib/authldaprc(again your location might be different) finally since this is a permission error as it appears, pls check permissions on your ldap folder (if default RH- /var/lib/ldap) Best Wishes On Mon, 2009-03-23 at 15:34 +0530, Goutam Baul wrote: > Dear All, > > Kindly ignore the previous post.
