HI All

I am facing following error when configuring LDAP server..can any one help me here ???

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

here is my slapd.conf file
#
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.
#
include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema

# Allow LDAPv2 client connections. This is NOT the default.
allow bind_v2

# Do not enable referrals until AFTER you have a working directory
# service AND an understanding of referrals.
referral ldap://root.openldap.org

pidfile /var/run/slapd.pid
argsfile /var/run/slapd.args

# modulepath /usr/sbin/openldap
# moduleload back_bdb.la
# moduleload back_ldap.la
# moduleload back_ldbm.la
# moduleload back_passwd.la
# moduleload back_shell.la

# The next three lines allow use of TLS for encrypting connections using a
# dummy test certificate which you can generate by changing to
# /usr/share/ssl/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 /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
# TLSCertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/slapd.pem
# TLSCertificateKeyFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/slapd.pem

# 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!

thanks in advance

hi

i guess your doing a query against the ldap server
... you didnt mentioned what is the query string
anyway, you should bind the server with (-b the-relevant-object -wPASSWORD)
if your doing that already, check that you have a -x flag
(indicates simple query)

Hi,

Try the following commands.

#slappasswd

Specify your new ldap password here and you will get an encrypted string as your output.

Copy that string and paste it into your slapd.conf as like below.

rootpw {crypt}{SSHA}T7Ngow8zvXb08YL1xfRLvKg7m373UK1a

Save and Exit from the file.

You must restart your LDAP service now so that the changes you've made will be effective.

Now, you can make ensure that your authentication is working by running the following command.

#ldapsearch -x -b "dc=test,dc=com" -D "cn=Manager,dc=test,dc=com" '(objectClass=*)' -W

Cheers,
