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 cn: Barbara Jensen givenName: Barbara displayName: Barbara Jensen mail: barbara@example.com userPassword:: c2VjcmV0 objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetOrgPerson structuralObjectClass: inetOrgPerson entryUUID: 8565f97e-e25b-102c-828c-238ab0ab2691 creatorsName: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com createTimestamp: 20080709233555Z modifyTimestamp: 20080709233555Z entryCSN: 20080709233555Z#000005#00#000000
So, it seems like there is a user with uid barbara in the directory. But if I try using ldapsearch to find that user, and I use this command,
ldapsearch -x -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com' -b 'ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com' -LLL '(userID=barbara)' +
I get this: No such object (32)
Also, it seems like I can't connect to my database unless I do an anonymous bind. When I try typing in a password to login to phpldapadmin it rejects my credentials and the same thing when I try using -w with a password on the command line.
Thanks so much for any and all help in advance!
-Kristen
