Re: Getting IMAP to work with OpenLDAP

[Jeroen Vriesman <jeroen.vriesman@experian.nl>]

Hi,

if you use courier imap it's very straightforward, you just create a /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/authldaprc, and let it bind with an ldap account which can read everything, I use Maildir format.

If you would like to use courier/postfix/ldap, I can mail you some configuration examples.

good luck,
Jeroen.
