Hi there, I installed LDAP on my SuSe 10.3 box. I changed the configuration in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf to contain the following: ####################################################################### # BDB database definitions ####################################################################### database bdb suffix "dc=redcor,dc=ch" checkpoint 1024 5 cachesize 10000 rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=redcor,dc=ch" # Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should # be avoid. See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details. # Use of strong authentication encouraged. rootpw secret now I would like to use the administrator account like so: ldapsearch -D "cn=Admin,dc=redcor,dc=ch" -x -w secret -h localhost but I get a ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) before I used the cleartext password I tried using an encripted password which I generated with: slappasswd -h {md5}. the result I inserted after rootpw (just where there is now secret). do I have to initialice something befor I am able to use the administrator account? thanks for your help robert
