assist with authenticating our Citadel mail server with Zentyal

[greavette]

Hello,

Getting closer to connecting all our office systems through Zentyal.  Next is our mail server.  We use Citadel (citadel.org) and connect Roundcube to it through IMAP.

I've asked on the Citadel forum how to authenticate Zentyal (an ldap PDC) and was told to use:  "method 3: MS Active Directory RFC violating method"

This Citadel wiki page shows how to setup authentication using MS Active Directory:  "http://citadel.org/doku.php/faq:installation:msadsso"

So, I have setup a Zentyal server with PDC enabled.  Here are myldap settings:

Base DN:    dc=zentyal,dc=xyz,dc=net
Root DN:    cn=ebox,dc=zentyal,dc=xyz,dc=net
Password:    somepassword
Users DN:    ou=Users,dc=zentyal,dc=xyz,dc=net
Groups DN:    ou=Groups,dc=zentyal,dc=xyz,dc=net

I have a setup a user called test with a password called test.

According to the Citadel wiki, and using the settings I've outlined above, I should fill out the following settings when setting up or mail server:

<LDAP base DN>

Please enter the Base DN to search for authentication
(for example: dc=example,dc=com)
Enter new value or press return to leave unchanged:
dc=zentyal,dc=xyz,dc=net

<LDAP bind DN>

Please enter the DN of an account to use for binding to the LDAP server
for performing queries.  The account does not require any other
privileges.  If your LDAP server allows anonymous queries, you can.
leave this blank.
Enter new value or press return to leave unchanged:
cn=test,cn=Users,dc=zentyal,dc=xyz,dc=net

<LDAP bind password>

If you entered a Bind DN in the previous question, you must now enter
the password associated with that account.  Otherwise, you can leave this
blank.
Enter new value or press return to leave unchanged:
test

I fill in the above for my mail server settings and save it.  I navigate to the page and the Mail Server will not load.  I'm looking into where I can read error logs to see what the error is.

I think the problem is with my Bind DN and password.  How should I fill this in?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Here again I don't think you need any ldap bind DN and password. These are to be used with LDAP servers not authorizing anonymous access when it comes to search for an entry.
