Hi All!
We are currently implementing a fairly large and complex LDAP-based
mailserver-solution. One of the features we want to provide to our
customers is SMTP-authentication.
For this we are using an authenticator like the following which is
basically copied from the spec.
This authenticator works fine until somebody uses a password which is
itself quoted eg. "abc" (all five characters including the "'s!). The
resulting error looks like this:
We are now using the ${quote:} operator in this authenticator - is this
the recommended thing to do or is there another way to solve this problem ?
We are using Exim 4.12 with Openldap2(client) on Debian testing and Sun
One LDAP as the LDAP-Server. But the problem can be reproduced too on my
privat testsystem which is running FreeBSD 5.0RC2 with exim-4.12 and
OpenLDAP2 as both client and server.
thanks
Stefan
