Re: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials

Howdy,

I'm currently using plaintext authentication with wu-imapd (latest
version, just compiled it) and I still get those errors about imap in
/var/log/messages.

I'm fast running out of ideas about what to do, does anybody have a
clue as to what i'm doing wrong?

Ta,
Craig

Could be you're using Cyrus imap and it wants SASL authentication for
LDAP and you haven't configured that. wu-imapd, which I uses, uses
/etc/nsswitch.conf and uses unencrypted or SSL authentication
(depending
on how it's compiled)..

Best,

Tony
