Hi,

have you read the manpage for ldapsearch?
You should deliver some more information which parameter did you use for ldapsearch to figure out where is the problem is.

Try this URL for example.

Bye

Hi All,
         We have a dedicated LDAP server and I would like to configure OpenLDAP client in our linux boxes running on centOS 5.3.
I have installed openldap client and changed /etc/openldap/ldap.conf with folllowing info

BASE    dc=my, dc=net
URI     ldap://10.122.12.13

But when I try to run ldapsearch, I get following error

SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6)
       additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available:

The objective is anybody having ldap id can login to linux box. At present, I am manually creating individual ids which we want to integrate with LDAP authentication.
I would appreciate your help
