I have been confused by following symptoms for two days. <br><br>openldap version: 2.3.38<br>os: redhat linux<br><br>problem: <br>when I do not start slapd, I can still run &quot;ldapsearch -x&quot;, but it shows &quot;result: 32 No such object&quot;. <br>
<br>Then I start slapd, the &quot;ldapsearch -x&quot; has the same symptom. Then I use the slapd admin user and password to do the ldapsearch. It surprised me by reporting &quot;bad username or password&quot;. Then I do the ldapsearch in another server by &quot;-h&quot; pointing to the server, it reports &quot;cann&#39;t contact ldap server (-1)&quot;, but slapd is running in the server. <br>
<br>These results completely confuse me! <br><br>The /usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf is<br>======================<br>BASE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; dc=mycompany,dc=com<br>HOST&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a><br>======================<br>

<br>The access control list in /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf&nbsp; is<br>======================<br>
access to *<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; by * read<br>======================<br>
<br><br>Do you ever encounter the problem? any hints are appreciated!<br><br>Thank you!<br><br>Bests,<br>Jacky<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.<br>
