Mail setup from YaST2 console - 11.3

[sanyi]

Hi There,

I have a virtual machine what I just started to setup and causing me quite a bit of headache with the mail server setup. What I did so far:
- Start yast
- Network Services
- Mail Server
- Advanced (I would like to get postfix); get packages installed
...Next

" Your computer is configured as an LDAP client and the LDAP server is local.
We suggest you adapt the LDAP server configuration for the mail server...."

[x] Create certificates.
[x] Set up a local LDAP server.
[x] Configure dedicated LDAP server.
...Next

CA Selection
I created a new CA so CA Tree contains just one element.
.. Finish

LDAP Server Configuration
Start LDAP Server
(x) Yes
Protocol Listeners
[x] LDAP
[x] LDAP over IPC (ldapi)
.. OK

Error
Connection to the LDAP server cannot be established.

After checking ([x]) Show Details, it shows:
Protocol error
unsupported extended operation

Then it asks for LDAP server password, and then shows:
Error
A problem occured while connecting to the LDAP server.
init


I am not a big guru with this (a c++ sw engineer who tries to setup a mail server for his own use) and have this trouble for a few days. Would someone be able to help me out please? I expected yast to do the configurations right but am really sad that it does not work...

Thanks

I don't know this stuff either but have you opened the firewall??? Just a guess.

Are you running an LDAP server? If not, then don't set up LDAP settings.
