I've had none, my main box is a RHEL4u4 x86_64 machine. I would recommend you use something a little more stable (not just uptime stable but developmentally stable) like RHEL4 or CentOS4 instead of Fedora Core. You do realize that in 12 months or less your brand new server will be obsolete and only receive updates for a few more months?

I'm using SuSE 10.0, not FC, happy enough with the support path.

I'm hoping to install courier with OpenXchange server, as their imap server "of choice", Cyrus, doesn't compile on x64. Why anybody uses cyrus is beyond me, but thats another story.

I've not got much experience with ldap, and could use a little help with the configuration of authldaprc. Basically, I've built authlib configured for authldap and configured it up as best I can, but testing against an openxchange user fails.

The parameters that I'm unclear about:

(1) Ldap server location: My authldaprc file has a parameter LDAP_URI which references a secure ldap server by default, any openXchange config documents use an LDAP_SERVER field for this purpose. Initially, I tried

LDAP_URI ldap://127.0.0.1

currently I have set LDAP_SERVER localhost LDAP_PORT 389

Is the LDAP_SERVER deprecrated? Is authlib / authldap ok with unencrypted localhost ldap connections?

(2) Ldap password: There are two parameters in the file which specify the ldap password: LDAP_BINDPW LDAP_CLEARPW

For me, both these are asking for the exact same info, which is ok, so long as I'm getting it right. Am I?

Now, as I comb through the file, I have spotted one mistake and one omitted config which I can play with before testing again, but it would be nice to know the above if anyone has been there before.

Thanks,

Harry.
