Hello,

can anybody say something about my problem? The mails in the bottom are from my discuss with the dovecot maillist.

Thanks, Tobias

The serverlog of openldap with loglevel "any": https://gwarband.de/openldap/openldap-connect.log Note: openldap waits 1 Minute before he says "TLS negotiation failure" after the connect. and dovecot says direct "Connect error"

I've also delete the TLSCipherSuite from openldap.

Increase log level on server side as well to see what the server says... You may remove anything in TLSCipherSuite for the purpose of testing too. Hopefully anyone knowing OpenLDAP internals could help you analyse it more deeply. Tomas On 03/18/2017 01:31 PM, info@gwarband.de wrote:

I've replicate the settings from ldapsearch to dovecot but no success. To the certificate: Yes it's a *.crt file but I have linked the *.pem file to it and dovecot has read access to that file. I have enabled the debugging in dovecot and have uploaded the output: https://gwarband.de/openldap/dovecot-connect.log And the other site with ldapsearch: https://gwarband.de/openldap/ldapsearch-connect.log I'm pretty sure that there is a problem with the sslhandshaking between openldap and dovecot, but I can't find the source of the problem. One of the steps in the sslhandshaking is not success but in the debugging output I can't find any line with a hit to it. Tobias Am 2017-03-18 12:30, schrieb Tomas Habarta:

Well, if ldapsearch works, try to replicate its settings for dovecot client. It's not obvious what settings ldapsearch uses, have a look at default client settings in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, there may be something set a slightly different way. Also double check permissions for files used by dovecot, I mean mainly the file listed for tls_ca_cert_file as dovecot may not have an access for reading... I cannot see anything downright bad, just posted CA cert (which is ok, tested) is *.crt and your config mentions *.pem but I consider it's the same file. Finally, I would recommend to enable debug option for dovecot's client debug_level = -1 (which logs all available) in your dovecot-ldap.conf to see what the library reports and work further on that. You can compare with output from ldapsearch by adding -d-1 switch to it. Hard to tell more at the moment.

Hello, I have also installed LE certs. But nothing helps, I have double-checking all certs. ldapsearch with -ZZ works see: https://gwarband.de/openldap/ldapsearch.log I have also uploaded the TLSCACertificateFile, maybe I have a failure in the merge of the two fiels: https://gwarband.de/openldap/LetsEncrypt.crt And also I have uploaded my complete openldap configuration: https://gwarband.de/openldap/openldap.conf All other components can work and communicate with my openldap server. The components are postfix, openxchange, apache (phpldapadmin). My installated software is: Debian 8 OpenLDAP 2.4.40 Dovecot 2.2.13 I hope you can find the issue.

Hi, been running Dovecot 2.2.27 against OpenLDAP 2.4.40 normally over the unix socket on the same machine, but tried over inet with STARTTLS and it's working ok... I would suggest double-checking key/certs setup on OpenLDAP side; for the test I have used LE certs, utilizing following cn=config attributes: olcTLSCertificateKeyFile contains private key olcTLSCertificateFile contains certificate olcTLSCACertificateFile contains both certs (DST Root CA X3 and Let's Encrypt Authority X3) and used the same CA file in Dovecot's tls_ca_cert_file Is ldapsearch working ok (-ZZ) and only Dovecot has troubles or ... ?

Hope that helps, good luck ;) Tomas

Hello guys, actually I'm trying to configure dovecot to access openldap for passwordcheck. My openldap is only allow access over "secure ldap". The dovecot can communicate with the openldap server but there is maybe a failure in the sslhandshake. Additional information you can find in the logs or in the dump below. Also I have my ldap config from dovecot in the links below. I have already created an bug reporting in the system of openldap but the answer was to get support from her. All datalinks: https://gwarband.de/openldap/dovecot.log https://gwarband.de/openldap/dovecot-ldap.conf https://gwarband.de/openldap/openldap.log https://gwarband.de/openldap/trace.dump The bugreportinglink from openldap: http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Incoming?id=8615 I hope you can help me.
