My imap users can connect to Dovecot using GSSAPI without problems. This isn't the issue. Dovecot being the client to the LDAP service is the issue. But anyway, after adding the ticket for imap/host.example.com at EXAMPLE.COM in the cache the error still remains: dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP: binding failed (dn imap/host.example.com at EXAMPLE.COM): Local error, SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure.

I cloned the configuration to a new virtual server and compiled a fresh copy of Dovecot from source (tried git master and release-2.2.25) and it worked without problems. I also noticed that with the freshly compiled version the error message changed to dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP: binding failed (dn (none)): Local error, SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (No Kerberos credentials available: Credentials cache permissions incorrect (filename: /tmp/dovecot.krb5.ccache)) if the permissions of the cache file were incorrect instead of this general error message above. So seems like the issue - whatever it was - caused that Dovecot (or the underlying libraries) were unable to locate or open the cache file in the first place. Juha
