Re: Quick newbie pointer - unauth ldap* commands as root on ldap master



OK - ignore this folks.

I figured it out (and for some reason this message took a week to appear).

-x -y /etc/ldap.secret

args did the trick...

Hi,

Sorry - this will sound really dumb... For people who aren't very LDAP
savvy, what the cleanest way to rig an LDAP server that I have root
access to to:

allow unprompted ldap* commands (eg ldapmodify).

GoSA has got confused creating a user and I need to manually force some
ldif files with minor changes through...

MIT Kerberos has a kdamin.local command that does not care about
authentication because it has direct access to the database files.

Is there something similar for OpenLDAP? This is a files based ldap
server, not using SQL.

I have located an ldap.secret file but am having trouble authenticating
with its content. I'm fairly confused because LDAP appears to have many
many ways to handle authentication...

Many thanks,

Tim
