Subject: [exim] Issue with LDAP auth
Goal:
Allow users to authenticate with SMTP with their LDAP credentials.


Problem:
Exim spits out errors because it doesn't bind to the LDAP server.


Config:
--

begin authenticators


plain:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = PLAIN
  server_condition = ${if and{{ !eq{}{$auth2} }{ \
    ldapauth{\
      USER="${quote_ldap:${lookup ldapdn{ldap://dc0.cyberfusion.cloud/cn=Users,dc=cyberfusion,dc=email??sub?(sAMAccountName=${quote_ldap:$auth2})}}}" \
      PASS=${quote:$auth3} \
      ldap://ldap.cyberfusion.cloud/} }} }
  server_set_id = $auth2
  server_prompts = :


login:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = LOGIN
  server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
  server_condition = ${if and{{ !eq{}{$auth1} }{ \
    ldapauth{\
      USER="${quote_ldap:${lookup ldapdn{ldap://dc0.cyberfusion.cloud/cn=Users,dc=cyberfusion,dc=email??sub?(sAMAccountName=${quote_ldap:$auth1})}}}" \
      PASS=${quote:$auth2} \
      ldap://ldap.cyberfusion.cloud/} }} }
  server_set_id = $auth1

Note this line:
14:36:39   999 binding with user=NULL password=NULL


Why does Exim not bind to the LDAP server with my credentials and how can I set it up so it does?
