Hi Mark,
Both servers are running the latest 2.2.x version from
directory.fedoraproject.org <http://directory.fedoraproject.org>;:
python3-lib389-2.2.6-1.el9.noarch
389-ds-base-libs-2.2.6-1.el9.x86_64

This is listed in dse.ldif regarding PBKDF2-SHA512 and that makes the
password storage schema active I assume:
dn: cn=PBKDF2-SHA512,cn=Password Storage Schemes,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: nsSlapdPlugin
cn: PBKDF2-SHA512
nsslapd-pluginPath: libpwdchan-plugin
nsslapd-pluginInitfunc: pwdchan_pbkdf2_sha512_plugin_init
nsslapd-pluginType: pwdstoragescheme
nsslapd-pluginEnabled: on
nsslapd-pluginId: none
nsslapd-pluginVersion: none
nsslapd-pluginVendor: none

No error messages, all are log data points to "RESULT err=0" in access
logfile.
I assume the problem is because the smtp server does not initiate a
simple bind for checking the username & password when auth_bind is
disabled in dovecot.
I'd like to know, if the object in the LDAP directory is set into some
kind of "protective state" when a server has first authenticated with
a simple bind in order to access the object, and when another server
which doesn't make a simple bind in order to access the same object in
the directory, 389-ds will not validate the users credentials.
Entries do not go into any kind of state during a bind (or any other
operation). Authentication is per connection. You open a connection,
you bind (or don't bind), and then perform operations against the
database. Access control rules are applied to those operations based on
who authenticated when the connection was established. There are no
issues/restrictions with multiple connections concurrently binding as
the same user.
HTH,

In newer versions the standard storage scheme is PBKDF2-SHA512. Is
your
client trying to read or add already hashed passwords? Not sure why
dovecot, or any client, would be complaining about an unknown
password
storage scheme since it should not know anything about the password
storage scheme as it's supposed to be handled by the Directory Server
internally.
Anything in the DS errors log?
Is PBKDF2-SHA512 in your DS config?
Anyway I'm not sure what is going on or what version of 389 you are
using. I suspect you have two different versions of 389-ds-base, one
which is newer and supports PBKDF2-SHA512, and one that is older and
does not. Otherwise, I guess your clients are processing/using the
userpassword value, and they just might not support
PBKDF2-SHA512? So
that means you have entries that already have PBKDF2-SHA512
(before you
changed the password policy to PBKDF2_SHA256?). So those entries
need
to have their passwords reset to use the updated global password
policy
scheme.
FYI - you should avoid using SSHA512. It's very insecure as the hash
can be cracked in 20 minutes or something like that.
