Hi, with slappasswd you can specify different password hash types. Try another one. If that still doesn't work, check if your slapd is able to "decrypt" that sort of hash. Is the crypt/md5/etc. algorithm implemented in your slapd binary/library? Did you compile your binary for yourself or did you use the one from your distribution?

Bye.

I'm trying to get OpenLDAP up and running on Fedora (12) using the cn=config-based configuration.

I've changed /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config/oldCatabase={1}bdb.ldif to point to my domain:

   olcSuffix: dc=endoframe,dc=net
   olcRootDN: cn=Manager,dc=endoframe,dc=net

And I've added:

   olcRootPW: [slappasswd output]

However, I haven't had any luck using this password:

   # ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=endoframe,dc=net" -W -f Manager.ldif
   Enter LDAP Password:
   ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

Is there some other way I should be specifying the password?
