LinuxQuestions.org - authentication failed using ldapsearch

I created a local ldap server with Apache Directory Studio. A user entry is created with the uid "djiao1" and password "123456" (SHA hashed password).

I was able to search the user with the following ldapsearch command:

Code:

ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost:10389 -x uid=djiao1

# extended LDIF

#

# LDAPv3

# base <> (default) with scope subtree

# filter: uid=djiao1

# requesting: ALL

#



# djiao, Users, example.com

dn: cn=djiao,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com

sn: jiao

cn: djiao

objectClass: top

objectClass: inetOrgPerson

objectClass: person

objectClass: organizationalPerson

userPassword:: e3NoYX1mRXFOQ2NvM1lxOWg1WlVnbEQzQ1pKVDRsQnM9

uid: djiao1



# search result

search: 2

result: 0 Success



# numResponses: 2

# numEntries: 1

However if I run with -W to prompt password and type in "123456" I get "invalid credentials" error:

Quote:

ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost:10389 -W -x uid=djiao1
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
additional info: INVALID_CREDENTIALS: Bind failed: Invalid authentication

I tried the very long string shown as the userPassword "e3NoYX1mRXFOQ2NvM1lxOWg1WlVnbEQzQ1pKVDRsQnM9" and still got the same error.

Why doesn't the password work?
