Hi
M trying to install sendmail server on rhel6.i am having problem in setting up openldap.
Please help

regards
Mukesh
following is slapd.conf

# The next three lines allow use of TLS for encrypting connections using a

# /etc/pki/tls/certs, running "make slapd.pem", and fixing permissions on
# slapd.pem so that the ldap user or group can read it. Your client software
# may balk at self-signed certificates, however.
# TLSCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

# Sample security restrictions
# Require integrity protection (prevent hijacking)
# Require 112-bit (3DES or better) encryption for updates
# Require 63-bit encryption for simple bind
# security ssf=1 update_ssf=112 simple_bind=64

# Sample access control policy:
# Root DSE: allow anyone to read it
# Subschema (sub)entry DSE: allow anyone to read it
# Other DSEs:
# Allow self write access
# Allow authenticated users read access
# Allow anonymous users to authenticate
# Directives needed to implement policy:
# access to dn.base="" by * read
# access to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read
# access to *
# by self write
# by users read
# by anonymous auth
#
# if no access controls are present, the default policy
# allows anyone and everyone to read anything but restricts
# updates to rootdn. (e.g., "access to * by * read")
#
# rootdn can always read and write EVERYTHING!
#
#
access to * by self write by 'dn="cn=Manager,ou=People,dc=chowgules,dc=ac,dc=in"' write by 'dn="cn=Manager,ou=People1,dc=chowgules,dc=ac,dc=in"' write by * read

access to * by 'dn="cn=Manager,dc=chowgules,dc=ac,dc=in"' write by * read

access to * by 'dn.exact="cn=Manager,dc=chowgules,dc=ac,dc=in"' write by * write

but if i try to change ldap password it gives

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) error

i was successfully able to restore my ldif file from old rhel 5.3 server on to rhel 6

kindly help

What is the exact command you use to change user's password?

thnkx for quick reply!

i use following to change password

ldappasswd -x -W -D "cn=Manager,dc=chowgules,dc=ac,dc=in" "uid=dms002,ou=People,dc=chowgules,dc=ac,dc=in"

Hi,

The command looks OK. I suspect that RHEL6 uses the new "cn=config" for configuring openldap. To verify stop the slapd service and run the following command to start the daemon:
Then try the ldappasswd and see if it works.
