Hi,
We recently shutdown our old LDAP server and repointed our mail server
(dovecot + postfix) to our new LDAP server and ever since we've been unable
to fetch mail. Mail is getting delivered, but we just can't pop it.
We're
using Ubuntu 16.04, btw.
We keep on getting the following error messages in /var/log/dovecote:
2019-05-15 16:27:43 auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext:
ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Can't contact LDAP server
2019-05-15 16:39:36 auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext:
ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Connect error
2019-05-15 16:39:43 auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext:
ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Local error
However, our server is finding our LDAP users and postfix doesn't seem to
have a problem, just Dovecot. Also, when we try to connect via Dovecot, we
get the following message:
-ERR [SYS/TEMP] Temporary authentication failure. [mail:2019-05-15 21:40:06]
Our /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf contains the following:
## Dovecot configuration file
# If you're in a hurry, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration
# "doveconf -n" command gives a clean output of the changed settings.

And our /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext has this:

# http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP
#
# NOTE: If you're not using authentication binds, you'll need to give
# dovecot-auth read access to userPassword field in the LDAP server.
# With OpenLDAP this is done by modifying /etc/ldap/slapd.conf. There should
# already be something like this:
# access to attribute=userPassword
# by dn="<dovecot's dn>" read # add this
# by anonymous auth
# by self write
# by * none
# Space separated list of LDAP hosts to use. host:port is allowed too.

# Distinguished Name - the username used to login to the LDAP server.
# Leave it commented out to bind anonymously (useful with auth_bind=yes).

# Password for LDAP server, if dn is specified.

# Use SASL binding instead of the simple binding. Note that this changes

binds
# and auth_bind=yes don't work together.
#sasl_bind = no
# SASL mechanism name to use.

# Use authentication binding for verifying password's validity. This works
by
# logging into LDAP server using the username and password given by client.
# The pass_filter is used to find the DN for the user. Note that the
pass_attrs
# is still used, only the password field is ignored in it. Before doing any
# search, the binding is switched back to the default DN.
auth_bind = yes
# If authentication binding is used, you can save one LDAP request per login
# if users' DN can be specified with a common template. The template can use
# the standard %variables (see user_filter). Note that you can't
# use any pass_attrs if you use this setting.
#
# If you use this setting, it's a good idea to use a different
# dovecot-ldap.conf.ext for userdb (it can even be a symlink, just as long
as
# the filename is different in userdb's args). That way one connection is
used
# only for LDAP binds and another connection is used for user lookups.
# Otherwise the binding is changed to the default DN before each user
lookup.
#
# For example:
# auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,ou=people,o=org
#
#auth_bind_userdn
# LDAP protocol version to use. Likely 2 or 3.
ldap_version = 3
# LDAP base. %variables can be used here.
# For example: dc=mail, dc=example, dc=org
base = ou=People,dc=cs,dc=lafayette,dc=edu
# Dereference: never, searching, finding, always
deref = never
# Search scope: base, onelevel, subtree
scope = subtree
# User attributes are given in LDAP-name=dovecot-internal-name list. The
# internal names are:
# uid - System UID
# gid - System GID
# home - Home directory
# mail - Mail location
#
# There are also other special fields which can be returned, see
# http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields
user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid
# Filter for user lookup. Some variables can be used (see
# http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables for full list):
# %u - username
# %n - user part in user at domain, same as %u if there's no domain
# %d - domain part in user at domain, empty if user there's no domain
user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u))
# Password checking attributes:
# user: Virtual user name (user at domain), if you wish to change the
# user-given username to something else
# password: Password, may optionally start with {type}, eg. {crypt}
# There are also other special fields which can be returned, see
# http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields
pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password
# If you wish to avoid two LDAP lookups (passdb + userdb), you can use
# userdb prefetch instead of userdb ldap in dovecot.conf. In that case
you'll
# also have to include user_attrs in pass_attrs field prefixed with
"userdb_"
# string. For example:
#pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,\
# homeDirectory=userdb_home,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid
# Filter for password lookups
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u))
# Attributes and filter to get a list of all users
#iterate_attrs = uid=user
#iterate_filter = (objectClass=posixAccount)
# Default password scheme. "{scheme}" before password overrides this.
# List of supported schemes is in: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication
#default_pass_scheme = CRYPT
What do you suppose could be the problem?
Thanks,
Elias
