I'm kinda new to LDAP.. I've installed slapd and phpldapadmin for easy encoding of data. After inputting one data, i get the following error:

Could not add the object to the LDAP server.

LDAP said: Strong(er) authentication required
Error number: 0x08 (LDAP_STRONG_AUTH_REQUIRED)
Description: This LDAP server requires strong (encrypted) authentication, not clear text.

Anyone knows what to do?

Are you using SSL (Secure Socket Layer)?

Honestly,

I don't know. Here's my slapd.conf:

# Allow LDAPv2 binds
allow bind_v2

When I issued the command ldapadd, It prompts for:

SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started
Please enter your password:

When I enter a password, it says:

ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Internal (implementation specific) error (80)
additional info: SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database

My guess is I need to open bdb and gain permission to it.

Well from the original error you posted, it looks like it won't add anything to the database sine you are not using encrption.

This section is probably what you're looking for.

I tried to uncomment it but when I issued the command ldapadd, It prompts for:

SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started
Please enter your password:

When I enter a password, it says:

ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Internal (implementation specific) error (80)
additional info: SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database

use ldapadd with the option -x for simple authentication instead of SASL
