I tried to add a /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf file with this inside
(world readable):
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
But it seems that this file is not read. I see that ubuntu created a
/etc/ldap/sasl2 directory for me but how could I know if sasl is
looking in it? How does sasl know it has to look for a slapd.conf
file and not openldap.conf or whatever.conf? Is it openldap which
specifies the conf file to use or is it libsasl2?
I totally missed this the first time I read it. Must have not had my
coffee yet.
Here's a link to discussion on the SASL path in Debian, which may apply
to Ubuntu:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-cyrus-sasl2-debian-devel/2008-January/001185.html
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-openldap-devel/2008-February/002351.html
It's possible that Ubuntu has hard coded a path to /etc/ldap/sasl2
(mailing list indicates that may be an old location), but you will have
to review the build options for the slapd package to verify.
