Re: [tpop3d-discuss] RE: LDAP Authentication

[Prune]

Hi,

as said chris, the search filter is the same as when you use ldapsearch.
from the man page (with anonymous bind, may not work for you)  :
ldapsearch  -b "c=US" "(o=University*)"  description

which mean, give me the "description" attribute of envery entry containing
the attribut "o" = "University*", starting from "c=US" in the DN.
do you understand that ?

for you, this will give : 

ldapsearch  -b "o=mye-znet" "(uid=t_tran99)" mailMessageStore

this will work if you supply only 't_tran99' as login, and don't add the
domain after.
the search filter can be more complicates, for example :    (&(uid=t_tran99)(dc=mye-znet.com))

so :     (&(uid=$(local_part))(dc=$(domain)))

I hope this will work

chris : am I right ?

thai : understand ? 

Cheers,

Prune

Hello everyone,

    If someone can help point me in the right direction regarding the auth-ldap-filter.  At the moment I am not sure how tpop3d uses the filter to manipulate the search or I am just to blind to see it from the default filter.

   

    I am aware that the default search filter is (mail=$(local_part)@$(domain).  If someone can explain to me exactly how this is used and the results of using the default filter in a ldap url format.

 

For example: If I'm logging in with address@hidden and my password, what would the end result of the ldap url be, using the default filter?  I am assuming this at the moment but tpop3d does use ldap urls to perform queries, correct?

 

Thanks,

Thai
