LDAP login but can't create email account and IMAP password wrong
Hi, I enabled the LDAP authentication. Successfully setup the LDAP and manage to login. However, the system is not able to create the email account automatically. I had already check the "Create e-mail account for users" and fill in the correct information.
If I manually create an email in the email domain, but put different password then it will say "Sorry, an error occurred: Authentication failed for user [email protected] on IMAP server localhost"
Anyone successfully setup the LDAP before?
I do enable IMAP external access because we are using IMAP for email pulling so password sync with LDAP is important. Thanks in advanced.
This will only work if the username and password of the imap server are identical. If that is the case then try to enable debug an watch the debug log while logging in.
@mschering , thanks for the quick response. Yes, if the IMAP username and password are identical then it is able to login. We faced the problem is that, some users setup email as external IMAP access. If they change the password in the LDAP then new password does not sync to IMAP password db. They will have problem accessing it during the next login.
Unlike the Serverclient module, it will automatically sync the password when user change password in groupoffice.
Would like to know is there a way to sync/update LDAP password to IMAP password db?
When you login with LDAP it finds accounts with matching IMAP hostname and LDAP user name configured in the LDAP profile. It will update those accounts. It can't know which other accounts it must change.
Thanks for the feedback. In this case, if user change their LDAP password, then group office will no longer works right? Because it will throw the following error: "Sorry, an error occurred: Authentication failed for user [email protected] on IMAP server localhost" I just double confirmed just now. Would like to know if there is any workaround or any implementation that I can help to do...? Thanks..
As of now, beside the login id. I couldn't figure out what else is the other relation..
Are you saying the login ID is identical to the e-mail account username? In that case when the IMAP hostname also matches the LDAP profile's IMAP hostname it should automatically update the password.
