Concerned?... not anymore, I solved them when I had the issues, but it involved:

0. Make my LDAP server use LDAPv2 (actually, I created a replica on
the perdition server, and made *that one* accept LDAPv2).
1. Make perdition use ssl_outgoing/tls_all while connecting to real
server (because real server *required* SSL/TLS).  This was a clearly
necessary step.
2. Make perdition ssl_no_cn_verify, because the certificate
verification failed from perdition to the real server (server was
valid, signed with internal CA, with correct name, but perdition
complained on cert, so, I just enabled this).  This bothered my a
little, but fortunately perdition had an option for it.
3. Copy the capability string from real server to perdition's
imap_capability option, because some IMAP clients failed (I remember
eGroupWare's IMAP client, at the moment), so, not just a plain copy, I
had to remove a couple of options from the string.

I just took that from my Jun 2009 notes, when I had to implement it.

I just found perdition to be, maybe, too problematic, that's why I
have been trying to get the time to make Dovecot's proxy capabilities
work (which looks promising).  Also, back then, perdition looked a
little abandoned (2 years since last release, back then, 1.17.1 was
the latest release).  I see there have been serious work on it
recently so: that's good.

Sincerely,

Ildefonso Camargo
