IMAP: "can't bind to LDAP" error when creating a new user
Support knowledgebase (hacht_imap_cant_bind_ldap)
Applies to
SuSE Imap-Server: Version 1.0
Symptom:
When you are creating a new user with the "imapwadm" web interface, you
recieve the error message:
ERROR -> LDAP und ERROR can´t open
INBOX username"
Reason:
In the user setup screen, you left the 'password' field empty.
Solution:
Make sure to include the password in the 'password' field.
To change the password for the mail administrator 'cyrus', you have to
log onto the server as the 'root' user and issue the script,
/usr/sbin/imappasswd like this:
# imappasswd
Then you will need to restart the LDAP server, which can be done like
this:
# rcldap restart
You will also need to restart you browser to login as the mail
administrator with the new password.
