I am getting the following error ldap_bind: Invalid credentials when I try to run the following command ldapadd -a -W -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=caris,dc=com" -f base.ldif Here is what my slapd.conf file looks like # $OpenLDAP: pkg/ldap/servers/slapd/slapd.conf,v 1.8.8.7 2001/09/27 20:00:31 kurt Exp $ # # See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options. # This file should NOT be world readable. # include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/rfc822-MailMember.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/autofs.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/kerberosobject.schema # Define global ACLs to disable default read access. # Do not enable referrals until AFTER you have a working directory # service AND an understanding of referrals. #referral ldap://root.openldap.org pidfile //var/run/slapd.pid argsfile //var/run/slapd.args # Create a replication log in /var/lib/ldap for use by slurpd. #replogfile /var/lib/ldap/master-slapd.replog # Load dynamic backend modules: # modulepath /usr/sbin/openldap # moduleload back_ldap.la # moduleload back_ldbm.la # moduleload back_passwd.la # moduleload back_shell.la database ldbm suffix "dc=caris,dc=com" #suffix "o=caris,c=com" #suffix "o=My Organization Name,c=US" rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=caris,dc=com" #rootdn "cn=Manager,o=My Organization Name,c=US" # Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should # be avoided.
