Re: ldapsearch failed to authenticate password

[Daniel Lim <dsahlim@yahoo.com>]

Hi Alexandre,
I used the -W -D options but still failed with invalid
credential, this is what I have done;
$ ldapsearch  -x -h rajah -W -D "cn=limd, ou=contacts,
dc=dpws, dc=nsw.gov.au"
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials

When I turned on debug at slapd there was this message
at the end;
ldap_read: want=8, got=0

Thanks,
Daniel
