Dear all, Below is the "partial" content of my openldap db. when I do: ldapsearch -D "cn=fratbrother,ou=People,dc=ibm,dc=com" -w password -x everything is fine. However, when I do ldapsearch -D "uid=sriram,ou=People,dc=ibm,dc=com" -w password -x I get the ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) error. is this related to the "account" object class? it seems that none of the openLdap tools such as ldapsearch,ldappasswd works for "account" object class.. is the syntax different for this type of class? p.s. in my slapd.config for ACL I have access to * by * read
