I find the error message in the log file of Roundcube as follows. What is about? How do I solve it?

I'm not an expert with ldap but the error means what it says it can't connect to the server the credentials are invalid. I'd recommend double checking what you have set in the config file and you could try looking at the ldap server logs to see if they give you any other information.

The fatal error is Net_LDAP2 issue. https://github.com/pear/Net_LDAP2/issues/15.

I suggest to try the ldap_simple driver instead of ldap for the password plugin.

A fix for Roundcube master (which supports PHP >= 8.1) might be to remove all ->done() calls from the 'ldap' driver code, but I can't test it.
