yashfire007 · 05-18-2013, 03:14 AM

Dear all,

I have installed openldap in my system (CentOS 5.9)..

While adding an user in .ldif file and entered the password it is showing as the error
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
.

[root@localhost openldap]# ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=unotechtest,dc=com' '(objectclass=*)'
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=unotechtest,dc=com> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object

# numResponses: 1

please suggest....

#vim /etc/openldap/slap.conf

database bdb
suffix "dc=unotechtest,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=admin,dc=unotechtest,dc=com"
# Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should
# be avoided. See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details.
# Use of strong authentication encouraged.
# rootpw secret
rootpw {SSHA}UpKdzwM4uocKMefZjJ+cnu/+91W3xAeL

Show us your

Code:

ldapadd

or

Code:

ldapmodify

command syntax.

Make sure you have no whitespace or garbled characters in your ldif file.

Also to be sure reset your LDAP password, with

Code:

slappasswd

again and place the hash again in your

Code:

slapd.conf

and a

Code:

service slapd restart

to check

Actually:

Code:

vim /etc/openldap/slap.conf

Should be your database backend: e.g. /etc/openldap/slapd.d/olcDatabase={2}bdb.ldif

And this should have the

Code:

olcRootPW: {SSHA}UpKdzwM4uocKMefZjJ+cnu/+91W3xAeL

entry then :

Code:

service slapd restart

Now try the credentials
