I am confused about how I have an empty dn. I am including my ldap.conf and slapd.conf as well as the ldif file I imported via the command line.
From what I can see, I have defined a suffix in slapd.conf. I imported
basics.ldif with the command:
Sudo slapadd -v -f /etc/ldap/salpd.conf -l basics.ldif
You should first run the slapd and then add the basics.ldif using ldapadd.
When I executed the command it seemed to do the import fine.
The other thing I don't understand is what the password is for root DN (cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com). To me it seems like the password is "secret" but when I type that in it rejects those credentials, so I am very confused as to what I am supposed to type in for a password. The only way I can seem to connect is by leaving the password out and connecting via an anonymous bind.
The set the password , run the command slappasswd and it would prompt you for a password. It will returned the hashed result which you need to copy to you slapd.conf .
Eg.
$ slappasswd
New password: Re-enter new password: {SSHA}Iq7/biIQnXZI7XVuqI40jlE1RgQUVPLr
The above hashed password is to be now copied to slapd.conf
rootpw {SSHA}Iq7/biIQnXZI7XVuqI40jlE1RgQUVPLr
Then restart the slapd and add the ldif using ldapadd command.
Follow the example in this link :

I apologize if I missing something really obvious, this is all new to me. And I really appreciate the help!

Hi everyone,
I am new to OpenLDAP and this list. I joined because I am trying to set up an OpenLDAP server so that Moodle and ELGG can authenticate users from the LDAP server. It is a little more difficult than I thought it would be, and I am running into some frustrating problems that I don't understand. I am hoping someone here might be able to help.
I am using Ubuntu and using the book Mastering OpenLDAP as my guide.
I have the server set up, edited config files and installed phpldapadmin to make things a little easier for me. I added my first entries but do not see them when I do a search, and nothing appears under my base in phpldapadmin (see attached screen shot). I don't get any complaints when I add the entries from my .ldif file, so I just don't understand why they don't seem to end up in my directory.
If I do this command, sudo slapcat -a '(uid=barbara)' , the result is:
dn: ou: Users uid: barbara sn: Jensen
[...]
This entry has an empty DN, thus is not stored in the database defined by the suffix parameter in slapd.conf
create propper entries as described in the OpenLDAP docs http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/dbtools.html
