I guess you can reference http://www.iredmail.org/forum/post723.html#p723 as it seems to be the same problem I am having. I am grabbing my logs now.

In addition to the unable to login, I checked the postmaster mailbox and the welcome email for the user has bounced back.

I figgured I'd just do a re install, got it working with MySQL this time, now my only problem is I created additional users, imported them into the database via phpmyadmin, but the users cannot login to webmail.

Any ideas?

Are you sure your iRedMail installed success?
If you use openldap as backend, it should be already installed and configured.

ok was missing the openldap-servers library, installed that.

Wasn't this library suppose to be installed with iRedmail? Am I missing configuration now?

I went into the ldap

I now get this error.

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
Add new domain: ofinnigans.com.
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

Send a welcome mail to new user: Jason.D@ofinnigans.com

do I need to edit the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

I made changes to the slapd.conf as below

database bdb
suffix "dc=ofinnigans,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=ofinnigans,dc=com"
# Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should
# be avoided. See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details.
# Use of strong authentication encouraged.
# rootpw
rootpw {SSHA}bGfd7/iqgll+IDsD6KzE9tCGRLncIKaR

when i restart ldap i get this error(but I ignore it)

Stopping slapd: [ OK ]
Checking configuration files for slapd: bdb_db_open: Warning - No DB_CONFIG file found in directory /var/lib/ldap: (2)
Expect poor performance for suffix dc=ofinnigans,dc=com.
config file testing succeeded
[ OK ]
Starting slapd: [ OK ]

I then edited the create script with the new rootpw

LDAP_SUFFIX="dc=ofinnigans,dc=com"

# Setting 'BASE_DN'.
BASE_DN="o=domains,${LDAP_SUFFIX}"

# Setting 'DOMAIN_NAME' and DOMAIN_DN':
# * DOMAIN will be used in mail address: ${USERNAME}@${DOMAIN}
# * DOMAIN_DN will be used in LDAP dn.
DOMAIN_NAME="$1"
DOMAIN_DN="domainName=${DOMAIN_NAME}"
OU_USER_DN="ou=Users"
OU_GROUP_DN="ou=Groups"

# ---------- rootdn of LDAP Server ----------
# Setting rootdn of LDAP.
BINDDN="cn=Manager,${LDAP_SUFFIX}"

# Setting rootpw of LDAP.
BINDPW="bGfd7/iqgll+IDsD6KzE9tCGRLncIKaR"

Still cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

Thanks again.

Wouldn't it have to all be on in order to send emails? For users to login?

The initial user I created works just fine.

I will take a look at these settings later tonight. Thanks for the help.

ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

Is your ldap server running?

create_mail_user_OpenLDAP.sh: line 161: slappasswd: command not found

Do you have openldap related packages installed? In RHEL/CentOS, they are openldap-servers, openldap-clients.

having problems creating ldap user, getting error can't contact LDAP server, attempted to locate and view logs but was unsuccessful. Can anyone provide any assistance?

I update the variables within the create_mail_user_OpenLDAP.sh script as required.
