Dear OpenLDAP users,

We have downloaded OpenLDAP 2.4.22 from Sunfreeware.com and installed it. We have successfully imported the LDAP data from another server. We are using the *simple* authentication method.

I can authenticate as rootdn but not as a user. Is there something wrong with my access control list:

---

access to * by self write by users read by anonymous none

---

I have tried running slapd with debugging switched on but could not diagnose the problem.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Cheers, Nick

Shouldn't it be:

by anonymous auth

?

Nicholas,

This has been covered before.

Google: DB_CONFIG Expect poor performance

It's just Berkeley DB complaining that there's no DB_CONFIG file... Harmless.

Thanks guys!

Now when I start slapd, I do not understand the output: ------------------------------------------------------- @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.22 (Jun 9 2010 08:15:30) $ steve@v480:/bigdisk/SOURCES/S10/openldap-2.4.22/servers/slapd Backend ACL: access to * by self write by users read by anonymous auth

Troubleshooting ACLs is greatly made easier by using "loglevel acl" in slapd.conf or "-d acl" on the command line.

In this case, you need to allow anonymous users auth privileges so that they can authenticate. See http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/access-control.html#The%20access%20to%20... for details.
