Hi Don,

I'm about to upgrade an installation with an installation of cyrus-sasl2,
openldap, ldapdp and courier-imap 4.0.x from 3.6 -> 3.8 this weekend.

 I'd definitely forget using about using cyrus-sasl2 2.1.20 from the 
ports - you really need to be using the lastest stable version.
 It transforms what was an excercise in hair pulling frustration
into a relatively straight forward procedure.

cheers
Paul

Thanks for the idea, but I need to stick with Postfix in this case.  I
am also trying to avoid having to run any extra authentication
daemons.

If you use the courier-imap port you might try authdaemond as
pwcheck_method.  Courier-IMAP can handle ldap very well IIRC and saved
me a lot of time with the sasl shitz.

Postfix SMTP Authentication using auxprop ldapdb plugin from OpenLDAP

2005-11-17 Thread dontek
Hello all:

I am running 3.8 Generic i386.  I am trying to get SMTP authentication
working with Postfix using an OpenLDAP user database.  I want to use
the ldapdb auxprop sasl plugin as opposed to using saslauthd.

The cyrus-sasl2 port does not seem to have this plugin included.  The
source code can be found in the openldap port source tree under the
contribs. (ldapdb.c)  The README indicates this needs to be compiled
and placed in the cyrus-sasl2 source tree in the plugins directory and
compiled.  The source does not come with any configuration or build
scripts.

What would be the best way to get this plugin working with cyrus-sasl2
on OpenBSD?  If your answer is to follow what I just outlined above, I
could use some help getting the source compiled.
