Hi,

I am trying courier imap-1.7.0 to get authenticated using ldap. I have tried with ldap versions 2.0.25 and 2.1.12. courier imap was compiled from the source and ldap was automatically detected. when tried to login into the imap using outlook express or ximian (on Red Hat 8.0) I get login reject from the server. After getting login reject I get the following message in /var/log/message..

"authdaemond.ldap: ldap_simple_bind_s failed: Can't contact LDAP server"

I ran tcpdump simultaneously but no request was made to ldap port 389. I am using qmail 1.03 patched with qmail-ldap-1.03-20030101.patch and is working fine.

Somebody please help me. I have given the following settings on imap config files..

#authdaemonrc

authmodulelist="authldap" authmodulelistorig="authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap authpam" daemons=5 version="" authdaemonvar=/usr/lib/courier-imap/var/authdaemon
