RE: Unable to load the ldapdb plugin -- during SMTP AUTH against LDAP server .

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thank you ,

I have emptied the /etc/saslauthd.conf  file and moved all the configuration to /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf 


************************************************************
pwcheck_method: auxprop
auxprop_plugin: ldapdb

mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN NTLM CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5

ldap_servers: ldaps://xx.xx.xx.:636
ldap_bind_dn: uid=xx,ou=xx,ou=xx,o=xx
ldap_bind_pw: xxxxxxx

ldap_version: 3
ldap_auth_method: bind
ldap_search_base: ou=xx,ou=xx,o=xx
ldap_scope: sub
ldap_filter: ShortName=%U

ldap_mech: DIGEST-MD5

************************************************************

Any recommended ways to test if this is working ? ( I continue to have similar errors in my logs )

# /usr/sbin/pluginviewer -a   >> doesn't list ldapdb .

Installed and properly configured auxprop mechanisms are:
sasldb
List of auxprop plugins follows
Plugin "sasldb" ,       API version: 8
        supports store: yes

******************************************************************

In the meanwhile I will try uninstalling the s/w  reinstalling all the cyrus sasl plugins and then configuring them again .


Regards, Vamsi.

Hi,

you are mixing 2 options to configure cyrus-sasl with LDAP as the backend, both are exclusive. With other words: either use saslauthd and forget about auxprop with ldapdb or the other way around.

If you opt fo cyrus SASL with ldapdb then check closely the man page:
https://blog.sys4.de/cyrus-sasl-ldapdb-man-page-en.html
The option will have to be defined inb /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf.

Regards,
Alexander
