"You will not be able to log into mailcow UI or EAS using your LDAP credentials by default."

why does this affect AES when we can login -> SoGo web?

Programmierus commented 3 years ago

sorry, but i didn't get your question

  1. AES stands for Exchange Active Sync I would think.
  2. Exchange Active Sync is handled by SoGo.
  3. SoGo-web works without the workaround

so why do I need to use the workaround to get "Exchange Active Sync" working?

AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. AES != EAS.

SOGo works just because it's basically an IMAP client, authentication goes through dovecot which is being configured by my script.

EAS, in particular auto-configuration, works directly with mailcow user/pass-db, which, without a workaround, knows nothing about LDAP authentication.
