Hallo.
I've debian stable and I've installed ejabberd 1.1.2 from .
I have a ldap database with a great number of mail accounts.
I want to authenticate jabber users over ldap just to use the same mail user and the same mail password.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm italian.
I've configured ejabberd.cfg with my ldap parameters but when I configure an account in my jabber client, for example user=mauro.sanna with my mail password, it says "read error".
In ejabberd.log it seems that there aren't queries to ldap server.
ejabberd and ldap server (slapd) are on the same machine.
Can I have a little help on configuring ejabberd to query ldap?
Thank you.
Looking for ejabberd docs?

I've try also an external
I've try also an external script in perl downloaded from http://www.ejabberd.im/extauth.
I've set up my parameters and run at command line.
It connect to my ldap server but when I call it from ejabberd it seems that doesn't connect to ldap server as I see no log informations.
This is part of ejabberd.cfg
{auth_method, external}.
{extauth_program, "/home/mauro/check_pass_ldap_perl.pl"}.

Re: little help for ldap method authentication.
Config looks ok. What *exactly* version of ejabberd and Erlang do you use? Debian package had some LDAP problem with Erlang R11B-2. Make sure you have the latest versions.

I'm using debian stable with ejabberd and erlang backports from .
Erlang version is 1:11 while ejabberd is 1.1.2.
It's incomplete versions.
It's incomplete versions. Please, specify full erlang and ejabberd versions. What's exactly shown on

I think you should upgrade
I think you should upgrade ejabberd to 1.1.2-4~bpo2, which is in backport database already. It has a LDAP-related bugfix, which is important, when ejabberd is running on erlang 1:11.b.2.
