Most likely means the DN you used to connect to LDAP server doesn't have read permissions to users' passwords. From dovecot-ldap-example.conf:

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
