Open LDAP

[Justin Bennett]

I don't know much about setting up LDAP, I'm trying to get an openldap
server going to use for address books. It's running on redhat 7.3. I seem
to have it running but can't add any records.

[root at localhost tmp]# ldapadd -D "cn=root" -h localhost
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such object

Any suggestions?



this is my slapd.conf file:


# $OpenLDAP: pkg/ldap/servers/slapd/slapd.conf,v 1.8.8.7 2001/09/27

# The next two lines allow use of TLS for connections using a dummy test

# /usr/share/ssl/certs, running "make slapd.pem", and fixing permissions on
# slapd.pem so that the ldap user or group can read it.

# Sample Access Control
