Getting IMAP to work with OpenLDAP

[Vishal Khanna <vishal.khanna@aitpl.co.in>]

Hi All,
I have basic problems in getting LDAP to work with IMAP.

What I want to do
------------------
I want to authenticate my MAIL(IMAP) users on Linux box from the LDAP 
server running on another server

a. Is it possible ?
b. If yes then how ?

Any help would be really appreciated, I have done the hunting on the web

The pacakages I use are (RPMS on 2.4.19 Kernel)
IMAP
-----
imap-2001a-142
imap-lib-2001a-142

LDAP
openldap2-client-2.1.4-26
yast2-ldap-client-2.6.5-66
nss_ldap-199-31
openldap2-2.1.4-26
pam_ldap-150-57
tclldap-1.1.1-693
perl-ldap-0.251-20
perl-ldap-ssl-0.251-20

I did what was mentioned of changing the settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf
Changed the entries in /etc/pam.d/imap to

auth           required      pam_ldap.so
account        required        pam_ldap.so

No matter what I do I cannot get it to work. My openLDAP software works 
perfectly fine otherwise.

Cheers
Vishal
