[Dovecot] dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(...) failed: No such object
I just installed the 2.1.3 version of dovecot. When I telnet to my dovecot linux server on the imap port (143) and try to login I get the error "No [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary authentication failure" on the telnet display and dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(bhammond_test at 131.103.212.38,128.121.121.193): ldap_search(base=uid=bhammond_test at 131.103.212.38,ou=users,dc=aspect filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(productFeature=mail))) failed: No such object in the /var/log/maillog. I am not familiar with ldap and I haven't been able to find anything using google. Anyone have any ideas with the problem? Thanks.
