I was able to get it figured out. There was a typo in my sympa.conf file… Thanks to everyone that helped!
Does anyone have any pointers on getting sympa to work against AD with LDAP? The documentation I saw on sympa’s site didn’t go into much detail. I found the auth.conf file but how does work? I made the changes and it still seems to be using
the local authentication method.

Well, I guess the RPM package can work. It is just that before using the Debian package of Sympa (that I used apache, mysql, postfix), I have been installing from source, and looking at the amount of manual work left once the RPM package
was installed, I thought that it did not save much compared to installing by hand, so why bother (and adding one more dependency, aka potential for failure)?
Out of curiosity, I will try to use the Debian package on Ubuntu however, before resorting to installing by hand.

Thanks for your valuable input. I can improve the Debian packages, but the other ones are out
of my scope.
I have a client with Sympa installed on CentOS 7 from RPM. Last upgrade was fine there.
