Developers of Sympa

["Chris Andrews" <address@concealed>]

This seems to be more of a Sympa-users question.  I do not think removing
the bind info will help, they are missing the regex value, here is what ours
looks like:

ldap
        regexp                 .*bc.edu

Then after our LDAP info we have:

user_table
        negative_regexp                 .*bc.edu

So when a user authenticates:

johndoe = LDAP lookup

address@concealed = LDAP lookup

address@concealed = User Table

Also make sure your Sympa user has read access to your "mail" attribute.
If the LDAP look up Sympa uses does not return a value for mail then it
counts as a invalid authentication.  Hope that helps.

You will want to remove bind_dn and bind_password from auth.conf.  That
should do it.
