Greetings all,
I've only just recently learned about configuring and using LDAP using slapd.conf configuration. Recently, however, I have been asked to configure LDAP on a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. I've run into a few problems.
First of all, when I try to connect via LDAP Browser/Editor to view the cn=config list, it connects but gives me Error 32 - No Such Object. The following is the the cfg file that Ldap Browser/Editor uses to connect to the session:
################################# # # # LDAP Browser v2.8 config file # # # # cn=config all attributes # # # #################################
host=[my server's IP address] port=389 sslport=636 basedn=cn=config version=3 managerdn=cn=Manager,cn=config managerlogin=no autoconnect=no leafindicatortype=int leafindicator=numsubordinates managereferrals=no supportsmovetree=no derefaliases=never sorttree=ascending ldap.attributes.list=* +
The managerdn i got from the olcRootDN line in olcDatabase={2}bdb.ldif file. And the rest i got from zytrax.com online book (http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch14/cn=config.cfg%C2%A0)
My question is, is there any other configuration or any other additional steps that I need to take after yum install in order to make this LDAP server functional? What have I missed? Any help will be much appreciated!
You need to use the rootdn for the cn=config DB, not the bdb database rootdn. Zytrax's information is highly unreliable, I would avoid using their documentation for anything.
I would first get binding as the cn=config db's rootdn working via ldapsearch before trying to use a browser. Most ldap browsers also do not understand cn=config. Apache Directory Studio would be an exception.
