Hi, I have configured dovecot for auth_bind against an LDAP server on the localhost and I'm seeing the following error in my dovecot logs: dovecot: Apr 30 09:03:18 Error: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server dovecot: Apr 30 09:03:27 Error: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server ... and so on ... When I turned on LDAP logging, this was what slapd logged. Apr 30 09:05:00 recess3 slapd[14387]: [ID 848112 local4.debug] conn=3555 fd=11 ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:47299 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Apr 30 09:05:00 recess3 slapd[14387]: [ID 215403 local4.debug] conn=3555 op=0 BIND dn="cn=root,o=home" method=128 Apr 30 09:05:00 recess3 slapd[14387]: [ID 600343 local4.debug] conn=3555 op=0 BIND dn="cn=root,o=home" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Apr 30 09:05:00 recess3 slapd[14387]: [ID 588225 local4.debug] conn=3555 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text May I know what is causing Dovecot to log that it Can't contact the LDAP server when slapd does see the incoming connection. Strangely, everything is working fine, my users are able to authenticate against LDAP; the UIDs, home directories, quotas etc are all picked up correctly. It's just the annoying auth(default) errors that keep popping up every 20 seconds or so. Thanking in advance if anyone has any ideas. Cheers.
Hi guys, I see this notifications in my logs too. But everything is working fine. Yesterday in my logs May 1 00:56:57 email4 dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server May 1 01:57:05 email4 dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server May 1 02:57:14 email4 dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server May 1 04:01:22 email4 dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server May 1 05:01:30 email4 dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server May 1 06:01:38 email4 dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server May 1 07:01:47 email4 dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server May 1 08:01:55 email4 dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server I have seen these lines. I hope everything is ok. I am using postfix with dovecot 1.31. I am using dovecot lda and quota plugins. IS there any command about it?

Yes, there were some LDAP-related fixes in RC32 (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-news/2007-April/000042.html) I think it would worth a shoot.
