Installing OpenLDAP 2.1.x

[jamrock]

rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
rootpw secret

#ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=xyzcompany,dc=com" -W -f /etc/openldap/xyzcompany.com.ldif

Just making sure I understand. Your slapd.conf states that the ldap admin is

cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com

However, when you are importing the ldif file you are stating that the ldap admin is

cn=Manager,dc=xyzcompany,dc=com

You need to use the same admin during the import that you have set up in the slapd.conf file.

If that does not solve the issue, do the following:

First, search your machine to make sure that only one slapd.conf exists.

cd /

find -name slapd.conf

Secondly, post your slapd.conf file so I can have a look at the entire file. I think that you are overlooking something.

Once again Thank u 4 the reply. i am sorry to tell u that it is a small mistake when I was sending the mail. Actually I configured like this.

rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
rootpw secret

#ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -f /etc/openldap/example.com.ldif



ya I checked out the slapd.conf file. There is only one slapd.conf file which was in

/etc/openldap/slapd.conf


and I configured the slapd.conf file like this



database ldbm
suffix "dc=example,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
rootpw security
directory /var/lib/ldap/example.com


I configured everything which I got the information from
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...DAP_and_RADIUS

Is there any easy method please tell me. I did with clear text password and with encrypted password also. But I got the same error. please give the solution.

Here is a basic slapd.conf. I took the one I use in production and deleted some stuff. Try it and let me know how it works.

Have a look at the documentation here:

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials

This sounds as if your ldap is setup okay. However, ldap is not accepting your user name and password. Not sure why.
