Re: absolute newbie -- how do I connect with rootdn

[Jan-Piet Mens <jpm@Retail-SC.com>]

Your rootDN appears to be
	 rootdn          "cn=Manager,dc=softgate.ro,dc=ro"
so use it. The `cn=manager' is not a distinguished name; just part of it!

Then I used slappasswd to generate some encrypted pass I think, I gave it secret and got               {SSHA}Gl6SqOGg2lNoTBAJkvm7M+9CToE26A2z  I put it in slapd.conf instead of secret and tried to connect with cn=Manager and secret but it still didn't work.
