Do you use IRC? I've had good luck getting help on FreeNode, in #ldap and #openldap

Even there, people will likely ask you to read the documentation so that you can ask intelligent questions. They're helpful, but they don't want to do your work for you. If you haven't already done so, I would read a lot of this site:

http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/

For diagnostic purposes, I recommend using ldapsearch and other command-line tools instead of a GUI client. A question likely to receive a helpful response would look something like this:

I'm running OpenLDAP version X on <OS>, and when I run this command:

XXX

I see this error:

YYY

And this appears in slapd.log:

ZZZ

Here's the relevant section of my config:

AAA

I used slapcat followed by slapadd. The Perl Net::LDAP sounds useful.

Is there a good forum for newbie openlap questions?

I saved another DIT using slapcat, then loaded using slapadd. But, that is now returning error code 49 : invalid credentials ( in JXplorer ). I'm using the rootpw password that is defined in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf

Tim

I stopped the service, and then restarted slapd with the -d 1 ( debug ) and also used the -f /etc/openldap/ldap.conf. Now, it is accepting the password for rootdn ( which I have never explicitly changed )

Tim

When the slapd service is launched normally the error 49 still occurs.

When the slapadd loaded the backup ldif it prints :

slapadd: dn="uid=tkeith,ou=Group,dc=pubsys,dc=com" (line=55): (65) unrecognized objectClass 'inetOrgPerson'
