Suse 10- invalid DN - Can not add user to LDAP

[sbn]

Just installed Open-Xchange on Suse 10, and am having a hell of a time with LDAP, adding a user. To date I have yet to find an answer, and after scrolling through the internet I do seem to see a lot of issues concerning LDAP and Suse's install.

adduser_ox
--username=sam
--passwd=system
--name=Sam
--sname=Sam
--maildomain=sam.com
--ox_timezone=Europe/Berlin
invalid DN

From SLAPD.CONF:
suffix "dc=sam,dc=com"
rootdn "uid=Admin,dc=sam,dc=com"

From etc/open-xchange/admintools.conf"
# LDAP Admin
BINDDN="uid=Admin,dc=sam,dc=com"
# LDAP Admin Passwd
BINDPW="secret"

Running "ldapsearch -x -W -D uid=Admin,dc=sam,dc=com" is successful giving me a full listed for "Admin"

I have run a search and replace of:
admintools.conf
slapd.conf
init_ldap.ldif
openxchange.schema

To insure that "sam.com" has replaced every instance of "example.org"

An LDAP browser fetchs a base DN of dc=sam,dc=com, and I can log into LDAP using "uid=Admin,dc=sam,dc=com" just fine. So what could cause the "invalid DN" for "sam.com" be?

Where are the LDAP logs under Suse 10? They seem to be non-existant

Also, why would I get "Invalid credentials (49) when doing a search for a user that I can not add?

Suse10:/ # ldapsearch -x -W -D uid=sam,dc=sam,dc=com
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

try to use cn instead of uid

Suse10:/ # ldapsearch -x -W -D cn=sam,dc=sam,dc=com

or the part uid=sam, should it really be sam, might be a typo..

Suse10:/ # ldapsearch -x -W -D uid=admin,dc=sam,dc=com

This was a big help for me. Thanks so much!

Here's something that changes a user's password and clears the password expiration bit.

# Given that OP1 is the user's old password
# Given that P1 is the user's new password
# Given that this is the right dn for the user -- in this example it's $USER@sam.com. You'll have to adjust that.
# For instance, in my office, we have to use 'uid=$USER,ou=users,dc=ace,dc=motorola,dc=com'
ldappasswd -D "uid=$USER,dc=sam,dc=com" -x -w "$OP1" -s "$P1" "uid=$USER,dc=sam,dc=com"
echo -e "dn:uid=$USER,dc=sam,dc=com\nreplace:shadowLastCha nge\nshadowLastChange:$((`date '+%s'` / 86400))" | ldapmodify -x -w "$P1" -D "uid=$USER,dc=sam,dc=com"
