dovecot - Mar 2008 - Setting individual SSL/TLS settings with OpenLDAP

I am using OpenLDAP to read Dovecot User settings and want to use TLS for
user_attrs and pass_attrs queries.

So I set "tls = yes" and it kept failing until I told the OpenLDAP
ldap client
in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf where the CA certificate can be found.

So far so good. Now just in case... could I tell dovecot to read the OpenLDAP
client settings from a non default configuration file e.g.
/etc/dovecot/ldaprc.

I know Cyrus SASL can do this with the ldapdb plugin and I'd be interested
if
this is possible with Dovecot too.

TIA,

Could you try if this works:
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/8a4ecf4c2ca1

(needs also http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/a61102ad418f to apply
cleanly)

I am sorry, I can't try at the moment. I'll be busy the next 3 days. If
someone else wants to, please go ahead.
