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 Am Tue, 4 Jun 2013 05:50:16 -0400 schrieb Ron Scott-Adams <r...@tohuw.net>: > a login tohuw [myPassword] returns "NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] > Authentication failed."
