I'm running Solaris 9 - Sunone Directory Server  5.2 (SP4)    - LDAP

 

Users are defined with posix attributes enabled (uid, gid, home directory)

 

Hosts are defined in DNS and the local /etc/host file   (etc/hosts only has the local workstation and the central mail server)

 

I'm trying to use the solaris dtmail,   the linux thunderbird and Microsoft outlook as clients to connect to

A central solaris sendmail server via IMAP.

 

 

I have the 2002 version of IMAP that came on the solaris CD's

 

 

The only users that can authenticate through a mail client / IMAP are the ones that have been locally

Defined in the /etc/passwd file for testing.    

 

I even tried duplicating an ldap user     same id, uid, gid and home directory in /etc/passwd

Only way it worked was if there was also and /etc/shadow entry -  and files was first in nsswitch.conf for passwd.

It's doing local authentication only - doesn't speak LDAP

 

Will the new version of IMAP work with LDAP ?
