If all you want about LDAP is to authenticate your users from LDAP,
then Cyrus IMAPd will just do it from sasl interface.
Be sure you have installed cyrus-sasl package with "ldap" flavor
I think I need a little more than that, I am not even sure how best
to insert the username realm and password and into which index..
and to that I am on a crash learn of ldap, so that is part of the
picture I'll need to understand asap :(
I figured the flavor thing out when I went down the "mysql" flavor method,
Also we may need to use the "-r" option for pkg_add -r
to get the flavor package loaded... Here is how to make flavors and
-server for those who may google this on the lists:
cd /usr/ports/mail/cyrus-imap
make package
cd /usr/ports/security/cyrus-sasl2
env FLAVOR=ldap make package
cd /usr/ports/databases/openldap/
env SUBPACKAGE=ldap FLAVOR=bdb make package
An example /etc/saslauthd.conf will look like this
ldap_servers: ldap://127.0.0.1
ldap_search_base: dc=your,dc=base,dc=dn
ldap_filter: (&(uid=%u)(objectClass=inetOrgPerson))
ldap_auth_method: userPassword
As you can guess, "%u" gets replaced with username.
"userPassword" auth method means authentication will occur with binding.
And related lines for /etc/imapd.conf
sasl_mech_list: plain
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_saslauthd_path: /your/path/to/saslauthd/mux
Good luck...
I appreciate the above examples and will digest it asap.
I saw several options for imapd.conf that dealt with ldap
without the sasl_ prefix, and that may have mislead also.
A note to other readers, any option in /etc/imapd.conf that
is prefixed with sasl_ may overided the SASL configuration file,
see the man page for imapd.conf and sasl_option
BTW, I know I got off track when I tried settings from an example
slapd.conf from a Linux Gazzette page:
