Hi, I'm also using saslauthd with ldap. The only needed configuration of cyrus is sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN You can remove all the other lines. I then have in my saslauthd.conf file the following lines: ldap_auth_method: custom ldap_bind_dn: ldap_bind_pw: ldap_default_real: UGent.be ldap_filter: (&(umMailObjectStatus=enabled)(umCyrusStatus=enabled)(umLogin=%u)) ldap_password_attr: userPassword ldap_search_base: ou=mail ldap_servers: ldap://127.0.0.1/ ldaps://myld.ugent.be/ ldap_version: 3 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Rudy Gevaert Rudy.Gevaert@xxxxxxxx tel:+32 9 264 4734 Directie ICT, afd.
