Hello all,

I would like to implement a proxy mail with LDAP authentification or otherwise a local authentification.

I tried this module but it doesn't works :
https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-ldap-auth
I'm getting theses errors :
" using username/password from authorization header"
""GET /auth-proxy HTTP/1.0" 401 -"

Also, I tried to deleguate the authentification to the backend mail server but it's not the final goal.

My config :
