Dear OpenLDAP users,
We have downloaded OpenLDAP 2.4.22 from Sunfreeware.com and installed it. We have successfully imported the LDAP data from another server. We are using the *simple* authentication method.
I can authenticate as rootdn but not as a user. Is there something wrong with my access control list:
access to * by self write by users read by anonymous none
I have tried running slapd with debugging switched on but could not diagnose the problem.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
Troubleshooting ACLs is greatly made easier by using "loglevel acl" in slapd.conf or "-d acl" on the command line.
In this case, you need to allow anonymous users auth privileges so that they can authenticate. See http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/access-control.html#The%20access%20to%20... for details.
