Re: What DN (user name) I should use for connecting to ldap server?

[Benjamin Griese <der.darude@gmail.com>]

Hi,

that depends on your slapd.conf

Usually it its "cn=root,dc=example,dc=com", but it could be completely different in your case.

admin, root, administrator or whatever you have chosen to be the master in your slapd.conf/slap.d

Check your config and build your path backwards. :)

Bye.

Hi,

I have ldap server started up in freebsd.
I tried to test it with Apache Directory Studio.
When I open a New Connection in the Studio, it asks for User name.
I entered "root" as user name, then go for the connection...

However I got following error message in ldap log file:


Jun 21 23:14:51 hometest slapd[2417]: conn=1005 fd=11 ACCEPT from IP=192.168.1.100:57297 (IP=192.168.1.20:389)
Jun 21 23:14:51 hometest slapd[2417]: conn=1005 op=0 do_bind: invalid dn (root)
Jun 21 23:14:51 hometest slapd[2417]: conn=1005 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=34 text=invalid DN
Jun 21 23:14:51 hometest slapd[2417]: conn=1005 fd=11 closed (connection lost)


What value of DN I should enter in the ldap browser (Apache Directory Studio) in order to connect to the ldap server?

I have ldap listening to the following ports:
hometest:openldap # netstat -an | egrep '389|636'
tcp4       0      0 192.168.1.20.636       *.*                    LISTEN
tcp4       0      0 192.168.1.20.389       *.*                    LISTEN


Your help is much appreciated

Thanks
Sam
