Ok, after doing some hunting, I found out that my imapd was not being
built with the experimental ldap pts module because:
1) For some reason my openldap wasn't installing the liblutil & related
header files, and
2) the --with-ldap=/usr/local configure option wasn't enough for
configure to see my ldap libs in /usr/local/lib
After manually copying the liblutil.a and the lutil.h and lutil_ldap.h
into /usr/local ... and configuring imapd with env "-L/usr/local/lib"
./configure ..... I was able to build everything.
I am about to start playing with this new experiemental code, but have a
couple of questions if anyone would be kind enough to answer them...
I see in master/conf/cmu-backend.conf how to run the ptloader. I see the
directives in imapd.conf.5 to configure the ptloader, but I don't see
anywhere how I can tell imapd where the socket should exist on the
filesystem. I can see where to tell ptloader - in the cyrus.conf ...
Also, what happens if the ptloader dies? will master restart it? I am
assuming group based authorization will fail at that point. Anything worse?
Does anyone have any examples of ldap filters for the ptloader? I am
currently using the objectclass groupOfNames and multiple member
attributes for my users, and my users dn's are uid=xxxx,ou=xxx......
I realize you guys are busy with the 2.2.3 release and theres a lot of
questions ... so Thanks!
Tim
