Hi all,

This was indeed a problem among other things. I was able to solve all the issues with the big help of the Freenode (irc.freenode.net) #openldap guys. IRC can be a really good interactive help source.

Thanks guys.

Regards, Matej

Hi all,

I have installed open LDAP utilities on Ubuntu 12.04 via apt-get install. I have version 2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4 installed. I can connect successully to the LDAP via phpldapadmin with login cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=net and my administrator password.

I want to create an administrator for the SOGo login with the following ldif file: "dn: ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: accounts

dn: uid=adminsogo,ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson uid: adminsogo cn: SOGo Administrator mail: sogo@domain.net sn: Administrator givenName: SOGAdmin "

When running ldapadd -f admin.ldif -x -W -D cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=net and after entering the administrator password (the same I use to log-in into phpldapadmin), I get: "adding new entry "ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net"

adding new entry "uid=sogadmin,ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net" I assume that everything is OK at this point.

The problem is when I enter: ldappasswd -h localhost -x -W -D cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=net,uid=sogadmin,ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net -s newpass

Your specified DN looks suspect. Your '-D' parameter should specify a DN which has permissions to change the password for your new user. Instead, it looks like you've joined the two DNs together. See the manpage for ldappasswd.

Alternatively, you could specify a userPassword when you create the user, and then bind as that user to change its own password (assuming that it has permissions to change its own password).

...

I have to enter the LDAP password and I enter my administrator password, but always get the output: "ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)"

When doing "dapsearch -x -h localhost -b "dc=domain,dc=net" -s sub "objectclass=*"" I can see that an object sogadmin is created: "..... dn: uid=adminsogo,ou=accounts,dc=domain,dc=net objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson uid: adminsogo cn: SOGo Administrator mail: sogo@domain.net sn: Administrator givenName:: U09HQWRtaW4g

..."

What should I check to get past this "ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)" when trying to ldappasswd of a new user?

I am pretty sure this must be some basic thing, but I am really a beginner in the LDAP field .. I have spent few days already trying to solve this and any help will be very appreciated.
