To disable this behavior, and force the openldap command line tools to use SIMPLE binddn/password auth, you have to specify the -x argument. >> Ok tried that and it seemed to work except I can't get it to return any data (I have 3 users defined) when I use the ldapsearch which comes with fedora-ds. The OpenLDAP ldapsearch works as expected. testsaslauthd still doesn't work though. I must admit it seems a bit worrying that a vanilla mailserver setup is this hard. Am I the only one that would use Fedora DS for authenticating IMAP users? Henrik
