Just built, installed openldap 2.4.8 and slapd starts up fine using the following

slapd -f slapd.conf -u root

as root user on default port 389

[root@dl2k245 libexec]# ps -ef|grep slapd root 15065 1 0 15:31 ? 00:00:00 ./slapd -f /dbapps/informatica/l dap/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -u root

The process stays up as long as I don't type the ldappasswd command to get the encrypted password a new user...

once I type in ldappasswd... this is what happens..

[root@dl2k245 bin]# ldappasswd SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started Please enter your password: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server additional info: SASL(0): successful result: security flags do not match required [root@dl2k245 bin]# ps -ef|grep lapd root 15077 14561 0 15:32 pts/3 00:00:00 grep lapd

and the slapd process is no longer there...

Any ideas why it might be happening or how to debug this? I tried dbg but it did not tell me much.. maybe I did not use it correctly...

Any help is appreciated !
