Hi All,
i'm a french student, i'm trying to make an Opendldap server on FreeBSD. my openldap version is : openldap-2.3.41
i configured the "slapd.conf" and ldap.conf" in order to start the server.
i have two problems
the first one is : i try to start the server but it doesn't work ... i don't understand whay it doesn"t work!!

stavril#  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd start
Starting slapd.

stavril# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd status
slapd is not running.

the 2 nd one is : i want to add a new entry into my database but i can't !!

stavril# ldapadd -h localhost -x -f test.ldif
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

here there are the files of configuration : slapd.conf, ldap.conf, test.ldif, rc.conf


stavril# cat slapd.conf

#

# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.

# This file should NOT be world readable.

# Define global ACLs to disable default read access.


# Do not enable referrals until AFTER you have a working directory

# service AND an understanding of referrals.

# Load dynamic backend modules:

modulepath /usr/local/libexec/openldap

moduleload back_bdb

# moduleload back_ldap

# moduleload back_ldbm

# moduleload back_passwd

# moduleload back_shell


# Sample security restrictions

# Require integrity protection (prevent hijacking)

# Require 112-bit (3DES or better) encryption for updates

# Require 63-bit encryption for simple bind

# security ssf=1 update_ssf=112 simple_bind=64


# Sample access control policy:

# Root DSE: allow anyone to read it

# Subschema (sub)entry DSE: allow anyone to read it

# Other DSEs:

# Allow self write access

# Allow authenticated users read access

# Allow anonymous users to authenticate

# Directives needed to implement policy:

# access to dn.base="" by * read

# access to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read

# access to *

# by self write

# by users read

# by anonymous auth

#

# if no access controls are present, the default policy

# allows anyone and everyone to read anything but restricts

# updates to rootdn. (e.g., "access to * by * read")

#

# rootdn can always read and write EVERYTHING!




access to attrs=userPassword

by dn="cn=Manager,dc=uvsq,dc=fr" write
