Hello Gurus,
I hope that you are well, I tried compiling Exim against the SDK
provided by Netscape at their Iplanet site, I used the version 41x of the
Netscape SDK and found that they provide the file libldapssl41.so and the
SDK5.0 won't work as we don't use LDAP Server 5.0 and they also have
inherent pthread and ssl problems while compiling. I noticed that Netscape
6.2 has the files liblber40.so and libldap40.so which when I copied over to
my /usr/local/ldap/lib directory and compiled produce no errors and compiled
to the end. No errors or warnings to any parts.
LOOKUP_LDAP = yes
LOOKUP_INCLUDE=-I /usr/local/ldap/include
LOOKUP_LIBS=-L/usr/local/ldap/lib -lldap40 -llber40
LDAP_LIB_TYPE=NETSCAPE
These are my final settings in the Local/Makefile, my question then is
that is the libldapssl41 so useful for connecting via ssl to the LDAP
server, does Exim support an SSL connection to the LDAP Server ? What are
the library dependencies for the Netscape LDAP stuff for Exim ? Obviously I
wouldn't like to build and install a bad Exim binary although I think that
it should work just fine. Unlike other times I had a whole slew of errors
and warnings none using the above configuration.
This is being done on a RH Linux 7.2 server (Exim build) full patched
and with SDK 4.11 with LDAP Services residing on a Sun Solaris 2.7 or 2.8
box. Any comments, suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
