Hello list,

I've been halfway successful so far in setting up an ldap server, but have run into issues when setting passwords using ldappasswd. The server is RHEL 4, running openldap-2.2.13-7.4E (server and clients) provided by RedHat.

I've successfully gotten the server listening, and have added entries to the database, and can even access it from my outlook installation (browsing of course).

When I run the following command on my ldap server, I get the following output:

[root@TESTBED002 sbin]# ldappasswd -WS -D 'cn=root,ou=users,dc=remitpro,dc=local' jdoe -d 300 New password: Re-enter new password: Enter LDAP Password: request 1 done SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started request 2 done Please enter your password: request 3 done ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Internal (implementation specific) error (80) additional info: SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database

The first two prompts seem pretty straightforward, in that it seems to be asking for the user's new password. The second and third have me stumped. Is the second password (LDAP Password) the bind password for the root user? If so, by entering that, the result is being sent straight to the final error message. If I hit enter (blank) at that prompt, I'm sent to the 'MD5' prompt, and which point anything I enter gets me the final error message.

I know this is probably something obvious I'm missing, and I'm sure it's a nube issue, but a day of banging my head against the wall (and searching google, and the list archives) hasn't given me an answer I can use, or make sense of.

Thanks in advance...

Danno

P.S. - here's what I think is the relevant part of my conf file, and a listing from slapcat.
