Hi All,

I am trying to setup LDAP server and while trying to add DC getting error Invalid Credential. I am sure I am putting right Password so tried running the command in debug mode. I am unbale to figure out where is the root cause of this issue.


Non Debug Mode Command execution
==================================
[root@instructor ldap]# ldapadd -D "cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -x -f build_root_ou.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)


Debug mode Command execution
===============================
[root@instructor ldap]# ldapadd -D "cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -x -f build_root_ou.ldif

[root@instructor ldap]# ldapadd -D "cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -x -f build_root_ou.ldif -d 1

Please someone can assist how to get it fixed.


Scenario Information
====================
OS : Redhat Enterprise linux 6

I think you should use -x option for simple authentication

ldapadd -x -D "cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -x -f build_root_ou.ldif

Thanks
