Re: ldapadd requires confidentiality

quanah, everybody,
thanks so much for your comments and help on this one, the problem is resolved.

turns out that the novell ldap daemon was still running on that machine, even though i removed the software using their uninstaller after evaluating it sometime last year (presuming that it would take care of it all)

strange though that slapd didnt fail when started and would show up running in the process list..... to what port other than 389 would slapd in such a scenario silently bind?

quanah pointed me to the correct usage of the -d flag, after which i could see and "address already in use" message in the debug output, something that didnt show otherwise

so apologies for my clumsy configuration and thanks everybody for your spot on comments!
cheers
-frank

now I started slapd interactively with debugging on:

slapd starting

then, in another terminal window, my usual effort to add some entries:


$ bin/ldapadd -x -D 'cn=manager,dc=svt,dc=se' -h localhost -p 389 -W -f
top.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Confidentiality required (13)

but nothing shows on the console where i started slapd! shouldn't I see
something in debug mode when
ldapadd tries (and fails) to bind to slapd?? (using the standard ldap.conf
and slapd.conf)

this is so weired. please help

Frank,

Can you start slapd with -d -1? and add a -d -1 lag to the start of the ldapadd command?
