Hi all,
I am new to this stuff but i guess i have spent lot
of time to browse through the archives to find if somebody else has gone through
the same problems with LDAP and SASL setup. Was glad to find out the way through
until i got stuck at his point.
Let me be a bit more precise.I have installed the openldap server 2.0.23 & cyrus sasl
1.5.27 from my suse 8.0 distribution.
I was able to startup the OpenLDAP using the
slapd.conf file and was happy to see the server up and running which i could
findout from the process list (ps - ax). From the quick start guide i tried the
ldapsearch command and got a "ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP
server".
i found out that sasl needs a
Database and it was failing to open the the Berkeley Database which was
confirmed from the error log stating "unable to open berkeley db/etc/sasldb: Is
a directory". from the archive i came to know that a new account has to be
created for the sasldb creation. I tried the saslpasswd command with user option
-u to create an account. It prompts for the password and verfication but gives
me the following error
saslpasswd: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: Is a directory Dec 9 10:00:18 mitra last message repeated 2 times Dec 9 10:00:18 mitra saslpasswd: failed to set plaintext secret for imdad: generic failure Dec 9 10:00:18 mitra saslpasswd: PLAIN: failed to set secret for imdad: generic failure Dec 9 10:00:18 mitra saslpasswd: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: Is a directory Dec 9 10:00:18 mitra saslpasswd: CRAM-MD5: failed to set secret for imdad: generic failure Dec 9 10:00:18 mitra saslpasswd: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: Is a directory Dec 9 10:00:18 mitra saslpasswd: DIGEST-MD5: failed to set secret for imdad: generic failure am working as the root so i dont have any
permission problems. i am stuck at this point and have also gone through the
archives but didnot help me further.
Is it possible to run LDAP without sasl if so any
ideas. I have gone through the documentation doesnt give me much info regarding
that. Probably my sasl version is pretty old. Should i replace the sasl version,
if so should i remove the old one and then install the new one? I didnt find any
rpm distributions. I tried building the latest distribution but landed with
problems as well.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
regards
ldapnewbie
