Hi, I am setting a ldap server by reffering (http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_open..._server_client) and getting following error in step #12

[root@ldap ~]# ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=adminmart,dc=com" -W -f /etc/openldap/adminmart.com.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

Please suggest !!!. I am using RHEL 5.5

Hi,

Which password did you create in steps 3?

The mentioned "password" in those steps is the encrypted password, the actual password isn't given. You need to create a password yourself in step 3 and paste the encrypted string that is returned into slapd.conf (step 4). Do remember to restart (step 5).

Hope this helps.

Step #4. Update /etc/openldap/slapd.conf for the root password

[root@ldap ~]# vi /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

#68 database bdb
#69 suffix "dc=adminmart,dc=com"
#70 rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=adminmart,dc=com"
#71 rootpw {SSHA}cWB1VzxDXZLf6F4pwvyNvApBQ8G/DltW

Please post this section of your slapd.conf file.

Hi,

Problem is solved..by googling..

It was configuration error in slapd.conf. The lines must be alinged left in file..
