open ldap error

[pattchen]

hi,
I've configured ldap.But when I want to add an entry:

ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=enspy,dc=edu" -W -f Desktop/example.ldif

I get the following error after i entered the password:

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

What is the problem, and how can I resolve it?

Thanks.

Hi,

Try the following steps.

1) Run the command "slappasswd"

Set your new password here. An encrypted string will be displayed.

For example,

[root@server1 tmp]# slappasswd
New password:
Re-enter new password:
{SSHA}v4qLq/qy01w9my60LLX9BvfNUrRhOjQZ
[root@server1 tmp]#


2) Copy the string and paste it into /etc/openldap/slapd.conf (OpenLDAP main configuration file)

For example,

database ldbm
suffix "dc=enspy,dc=edu"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=enspy,dc=edu"
rootpw {SSHA}v4qLq/qy01w9my60LLX9BvfNUrRhOjQZ
directory /var/lib/ldap/enspy.edu


3) Restart the LDAP service as like below.

# /etc/init.d/slapd restart

4) Now, add an LDAP user by using the following command.

ldapadd -x -a -D "cn=Manager,dc=enspy,dc=edu" -W -f Desktop/example.ldif

(enter the password which you've specified at the slappasswd command)

That's it.

Cheers,
