Hello!
Is it possible to use email to login to LDAP ? I'm working on mail management panel where users are identified by emails. Now I'm searching tree for DN of particular email and then I'm logging with DN and password, but I'd like to avoid this search if possible...
Yes: use SASL (e.g. DIGEST-MD5), and map the email address to the user's DN using authz-regexp; for example
authz-regexp "^uid=([^,]+),.*" "ldap:///dc=example,dc=com??sub?(mail=$1)"
