Hi,

I'm also getting some of these; exactly, I get one everytime I reconnect. For example, yesterday I closed my kmail and shutted down my PC:

Mar 8 18:49:02 imap-server dovecot: IMAP(myself): Disconnected: Logged out

And this morning I reconnect:

Mar 9 08:06:02 imap-server dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_result() failed: Can't contact LDAP server Mar 9 08:06:02 imap-server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<myself>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.0.4.25, lip=10.0.2.30, TLS

Is there a reason why these config files are separate? That causes it to create two LDAP connections. If you used the same config file it would create only one LDAP connection.

I suppose he read this from the example dovecot-ldap.conf:

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 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.

I think this is a bit misleading; in most cases, one single file and one single connection would be a better idea IMHO.

Aaaaaaaaaagur.
