Thanks, Adam<br><br>I was afraid of that, but see what made me think otherwise.<br><br>At <a href="http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html">http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html</a>:<br>&quot;the slapd(8) runtime configuration in 2.3 (and later) is fully
LDAP-enabled and can be managed using the standard LDAP operations with
data in LDIF.&quot; <br>- I have slapd 2.4.9<br><br>&quot;but must be converted to the new <em>slapd-config</em>(5) format to allow runtime changes to be saved&quot;. <br>- I did that, but I really don&#39;t have the slapd-config man page<br>
<br>in <i>/etc/default/slapd</i> there were already a coment about the the cn=config backend<br><br># Default location of the slapd.conf file. If empty, use the compiled-in<br># default (/etc/ldap/slapd.conf). If using the cn=config backend to store<br>
# configuration in LDIF, set this variable to the directory containing the<br># cn=config data.<br>SLAPD_CONF=<br><br>And, after all, I&#39;ve already deleted slapd.conf and authentication is being made with slapd.d/<br><br>
Please forgive me for insisting. Thanks<br>Are you sure it can&#39;t be a matter of ACL, admin authentication, or something else?<br><br>I&#39;ll upgrade to lucid, but it may take a couple of months. <br><br>
