Problem with openLDAP and SASL

Hello and thanks in advance for any help that might be posted,

I am currently trying to configure openLDAP (openldap-2.2.26), Cyrus SASL (cyrus-sasl-2.2.21), and BerkeleyDB (db-4.3.28.NC) on Fedora Core 2. I have some experience with Linux, but mainly programming with Emacs, and not much on the system admin side.

Currently I am following a guide posted at:

http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/LDAP-HOWTO/sasl.html

I get most of the way down the page with no problems, since I changed some of the file locations to match my versions; other than that the file structure is the same. I get to the line "slapadd -c -l Ever.ldif -f slapd.conf -v -d 256", at which point the command fails with the message:

slap_sasl_init: SASL library version mismatch: expected 2.1.21, got 2.1.18
slapadd: slap_init failed

I get the same message when i try to start up slapd. I read a few forums across the internet and most seem to point to an error with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH link. I do not know how to modify this, or if this is even the problem, but any input would be appreciated.

Hi triley,

Hope your SASL library version mismatch issue got resolved.

I am trying to setup Openldap server running on port 636 with SASL as authentication mechanism.
OS : Centos7

Can you please share the LDAP with SASL configurations details will be of great help.

You don't say what version/distro of Linux you're using, but chances are you have a mismatch between your cyrus-sasl packages, either the library or the devel package. Hard to say how to solve it, when we don't know details about your system, but try to install/update the cyrus-sasl-devel package.
