Hi,

I have being trying to solve this for more than a month. I installed Openldap, Samba, smbldap-tools, and phpmyadmin in a Red Hat 5.6 server. I have many users created with smbldap-tools. Almost everything works, there are 2 things that I need help with. One is with phpldapadmin. I can log with the user administrator, but can not change anything, this is the error in phpldapadmin

Could not perform ldap_modify operation.

LDAP said: Insufficient access Error number: 0x32 (LDAP_INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS) Description: You do not have sufficient permissions to perform that operation.

This error on the log

This is my slapd.conf

When i add this line access to * by self write by users read by anonymous read by * none Users are allowed to change their info. I just want a group of users that can change the info of other users, users that have more privileges .

I also tried adding a group called miniadmins, it didnt work.

dn: cn=MiniAdmins,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com,dc=ec objectClass: groupOfNames objectClass: top cn: MiniAdmins member: uid=jdc,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com,dc=ec member: uid=user2,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com,dc=ec structuralObjectClass: groupOfNames entryUUID: a3e66d90-19b0-1030-9c61-73ebddf12515 creatorsName: cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com,dc=ec modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com,dc=ec createTimestamp: 20110523174841Z modifyTimestamp: 20110523174841Z entryCSN: 20110523174841Z#000012#00#000000

with the following acl

access to * by group/groupOfNames/member="cn=MiniAdmins,ou=People,dc=iess,dc=gob,dc=ec" write

Also for the second part I dont know if you are able to do this with openldap: All users are part of dn: cn=Domain Users,ou=Group,dc=mydomain,dc=com,dc=ec. Also this users belong to others groups like city1, city2, city3. In each city there is and admin that has control over that group, example admincity1, admincity2,etc. They can manage users in their respective cities, but they can not change anything on another city.

I need help with the slapd.conf, I have a basic understanding, but my logic here is failing.

I have found people with similar problems but no answers.

Thanks,

Juan Diego
