OK; I agree - problem is DEFINITELY ldap authentication; forget about exim....
my exchange server is setup to accept clear text, and anonymous OK (even though I'm not trying to be anon). here's the thing - I have no idea what is going on between ldapsearch, and my exchange server. I've tried netcat'g the host:389 to see if I could evesdrop, but to no avail. I've tried telnet'g to the host:389, and DO connect, but have no idea what the communication should look like, and I get no responses at all regardless of what I try. ldap is definitely running - I can run custom queries, and ldap://queries thru my windows browser with success. the problem IS debian authenticating w/ the exchange server. Can someone tell me some way to diagnose just what is happening in this communication between ldapsearch & ldap server ??? Or can someone point me / show me how a structured communication to the ldap server would look like, so I can try sending it thru telnet - just to see if I can get it to work that way.... Then I can try & figure out what ldapsearch is sending... ???? TIA - Bob
