Hello everybody,
I have a problem with LDAP userdb and dovecot. Let me first explain
my LDAP configuration: I got three Active Directory LDAP servers
(a.galliera.it, b.galliera.it, c.galliera.it) responding round robin
to the name galliera.it.
I want to use LDAP for the userdb lookup, so I configured
dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf.ext as follow:
hosts = galliera.it # round robin
base = dc=galliera,dc=it
ldap_version = 3
auth_bind=yes
auth_bind_userdn = %n at galliera.it
dn=CN=stampa,CN=Users,DC=galliera,DC=it
dnpass=stampa
base = DC=galliera,DC=it
scope = subtree
deref = always
user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home=/home/dovecot.galliera.it/%$,=uid=8,=gid=8
user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(sAMAccountName=%n))
default_pass_scheme=CRYPT
With this configuration everything go fine, I can authenticate and
lookup my users in the expected way. What follows is the conversation
between (one of) the LDAP server(s) and dovecot after a issue of the
command
$ doveadm user -u <user>@galliera.it :

Strange things happen instead if I change the 'hosts' configuration
variable to one (no matter what) of the domain controllers e.g.:
hosts = a.galliera.it
base = dc=galliera,dc=it
ldap_version = 3
auth_bind=yes
auth_bind_userdn = %n at galliera.it
dn=CN=stampa,CN=Users,DC=galliera,DC=it
dnpass=stampa
base = DC=galliera,DC=it
scope = subtree
deref = always
user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home=/home/dovecot.galliera.it/%$,=uid=8,=gid=8
user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(sAMAccountName=%n))
default_pass_scheme=CRYPT
Changing this variable to only one of the domain controllers make the
doveadm request (issued as above) hang for some seconds and then exit
with a Request time out message.
This is the conversation record, you can note that there is *more the
one* LDAP server involved in the conversation despite the fact that in
the conf file only one is specified:

Is there anyone that have some ideas of what is going on?
