Hi guys,

I'm setting up a new email server, and am at the stage where I'm about to configure up OpenLdap with a suitable schema.

I reviewed the last server's config, and its confusing me... hoping someone here can help. The last server has courier authlib authenticating against an OpenXchange ldap schema, and authldaprc has the following setting:

LDAP_BASEDN dc=domainname, dc=com LDAP_MAIL uid

The users that authlib sucessfully authenticates against are located in LDAP at: uid=ema...@address.com,ou=Users,ou=OxObjects,dc=domainname,dc=com

Shouldn't the uid component be just below dc in order for authlib to find it? Or does the authldap module search recursively below the basedn for a uid field matching what was presented for authentication?

The reason I ask is that the server I'm working on will handle many more domains and users, and I'd like to organise the LDAP such that the UID's aren't all in the same branch of the tree, but rather a branch per domain name and all the domains respective UID's there. If authlib/authldap recursively searches, then this is possible, but if I'm missing something then clearly I can't do this!!

Any guidance appreciate.

Thanks,

Aine.
