Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has had this happen before?
I'm setting up a mail server and I'd like an exim router to run lookups to an ldap server, where we have user credentials and mail aliases/groups stored. I already have dovecot authenticating against the ldap server and I can also successfully run 'ldapsearch' queries. So the LDAP server is working from the mail server. It works using either ldap:// or ldaps://.
This is what I'm trying to test an exim LDAP lookup:
exim -d-all+lookup -be <<'EOF'
${lookup ldap {user='uid=ldapauth,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=company,dc=co,dc=uk' pass='somepassword' ldap:///cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=company,dc=co,dc=uk?member?sub?(cn=everyone)}}
EOF
With that, I get the following output:

It's this error in particular, that has got me scratching my head. The actual LDAP query isn't fully formed, but it should at least bind with those credentials, as I can do with ldapsearch and as dovecot already does.
I've tried running exim under strace, but that didn't provide any extra clues. The next step might be to poke at the source.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Gary Perkins.
