imap and ldap

[Geert Reijnders]

Oke I tried to reconfigure cyrus-sasl with the following options
--with-ldap=/etc/ldap (because I had to give a directory)

Everything was going fine, no errors during the installation but when I executed the command saslauthd -v
I get the same options.


saslauthd 2.1.15
authentication mechanisms: getpwent rimap shadow

I don't get it. Is it the version I use because with ldap is experimental in this version I read in the help.

Hi
you must have a "ldap capable" saslauthd

# saslauthd -v
saslauthd 2.1.17
authentication mechanisms: getpwent pam rimap shadow ldap

to obtain this, you have to configure  --with-ldap
