Hello everyone,

I would like to use my ADDC to manage my email accounts.

The problem being that I don't know much about it, is there a tuto to install iredmail correctly on debian 11 and connect it with an AD in the same network?

I've tried to follow the iredmail tutorials but I can't get my mail server to communicate with my AD. When I make the request :
# ldapsearch -x -h ad.example.com -D 'vmail' -W -b 'cn=users,dc=example,dc=com'
Enter password: password_of_vmail

I get nothing at all, it doesn't work.

Can you help me?

Re: Use active directory for mail accounts

try this example:
ldapsearch -x -H ldap://ad.example.com:389 -D 'vmail' -W -b 'OU=your-Org-unit,dc=example,dc=com'



also install ldap-utils package if you had "LDAP unsupported dictionary type:ldap" in the next step

thanks for the answer, I tried the solution, but when trying to connect, I get the error: "ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)".

What does this mean? What did I do wrong?
