Installing OpenLDAP 2.1.x

[jamrock]

Putty to administer the Linux box from Windows.

If your GUI tool is working properly, you shouldn't need Putty to adminster LDAP. You should be able to do it from the Windows application. 8)

/etc/init.d/ldap start

Remember that the command to start LDAP will depend on the type of installation you have used. The command to start a RPM will differ from the command to start the compiled version.

GIve me an example of the 'Base'

I'm getting a ERROR 91each time I try to connect.

I use cn=Manager and the password

User DN
cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com

Where your domain is example.com

How do I check my IPTABLES to see if my request is being blocked?

[exdol]

Are you using IPTABLES? Did you put no firewall when you were installing? If so it is not a case of packet filtering.

If you run ntsysv, use spacebar to remove it from the list of services taht are started at boot ime. The GUI interface also has a services dialog box.

Easiest way is to stop it just to check is.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop

What command are you using and where are you using it?

Are you sure that ldap is running? Type the following command:

netstat -a | grep ldap

You should get a result stating that ldap is listening. If you don't get this result, ldap is not running.

You could also try typing:

ps aux | more

Look and see if there is anything re: ldap there.

I forgot that I did not have LDAP server starting with the bootup and I have to start it manually with the /etc/init.d/ldap start command.

After I was able to connect. The error messages I got was from LDAP Administrator
