Hi,
I followed the steps in the
Quick Start Guide, everything went fine, I started the server and now I
want to connect and edit entries in the directory. I got a LDAP
browser/editor from http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/download.html it
looks pretty cool except I don't know how to connect with the rootdn account. At
the end of the message I put an excerpt from my slapd.conf file.
I tried connecting with User DN as cn=Manager and
password as secret, connection failed. 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.
Then I tried /usr/local/bin/ldappasswd, it gave me
this very suggestive err message "ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such
attribute". After an hour of searching I found that I should either use -x or
sasl. I used -x and I got "Result: Strong authentication required
(8)
Additional info: only authenicated users may change passwords". I haven't tried yet to install "sasl" (whatever that may be), but it's sure to give me more headaches if I try. So my question is what's the simplest way to give
this Manager a password and connect with it (no matter the security issues for
now, I'm just trying to add some entries with the browser).
If you have any hint, suggestion, lecture for me,
please let me know.
Thank you for your time,
lucian
