Re: passwd database



could you try the openldap version of ldapsearch and run a few of the debug options?

The error sounds like that the search base is incorrect (or at least not found)

ldapsearch -L -h yalumba -D "dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk" -b
"ou=passwd,dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk" "(objectclass=*)"

Do the following in steps (here's a shell script to make your life easier)

#!/bin/sh
# assuming your openldap ldapsearch is in /usr/local/bin
# try "dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk"  first and then
# try "ou=passwd,dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk"
/usr/local/bin/ldapsearch \
-LLL \
-h <specify FQDN of server here> \
-D "cn=robh,dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk"
-W \
-b "dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk" \
-s sub \
"(objectclass=*)"

try that on mine it generates the whole content (equivalent of doing a slapcat)

good luck

Hi,

Sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask this..
I'm having trouble getting the passwd database to work. My slapd.conf
database looks like this:


include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema

pidfile         /usr/local/var/slapd.pid
argsfile        /usr/local/var/slapd.args

database        ldbm
suffix          "dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk"
rootdn          "cn=robh,dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk"
rootpw          foo #not really
index   objectClass     eq

database        passwd
suffix          "ou=passwd,dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk"

access to * by * read


I then try: ldapsearch -L -h yalumba -D "dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk" -b "ou=passwd,dc=sees,dc=bangor,dc=ac,dc=uk" "(objectclass=*)"

(it's the sun ldapsearch)

which returns a no such object error

Any thoughts or pointers to documentation would be appreciated.
