Scalix Forums

hello!

I've just installed scalix community edition, and am trying to do external ldap authentication. external ldap server runs on port 388, so my om_ldap.conf looks like this:

host=192.168.40.40:388
search=none
dn = uid=%s,ou=users,dc=blah,dc=blah

I guess this (specify port number) should work. But I can't login to webmail where sac works. Error: there was a problem connecting to the mail server. please try again later.

In the logs I see:
ERROR IMAP Server Da(IMAP Server Pr) 01.20.06 13:48:58
[OM 29260] PAM unable to open static handler /opt/scalix/lib/security/om_sasl.so
Pid of logging process: 8297

What is going on here?

Two things may be at work here.

The om_sasl error is because at 9.0, we removed the om_sasl requirement. You should remove any reference to it in your pam.d files.

The second thing is that if you edit omslapdeng you should also edit ual.remote to ensure that SWA can sign in. SAC uses LDAP binds to authenticate whereas SWA is using IMAP ( and subsequently ual.remote).

Cheers

thanks very much, i took the ldap configuration from your knowledge base. So the information there is a bit outdated...

thanks very much for the quick reply!
