Hi , guys:

I have a problem  on the openldap Manager account login :

rootdn         "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com"

If I do the following command...

ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com" -W

from the command line it asks for a password.

If I type the password I created with slapppassd and have as rootpw in slapd.conf it carries on and returns the following (with comments removed)...

search: 2 result: 32 No such object

So it appears that from the command line authentication with ldap is working.

In my phpldapadmin config.php file i've modified the following lines... $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','host','127.0.0.1'); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','port','389'); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','auth_type','session');

If I try and login with user "Manager" and the password I use on the command line, it doesn't work giving me... "Bad username or password. Please try again."

Your login user is "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com", not just "Manager".

Hi , guys:

I have a problem  on the openldap Manager account login : 

The server is running CentOS 5.3 i386 and I have phpldapadmin-1.0.1-1.el5.noarch.rpm installed . It's running apache 2.2.3 with php 5.1.6 and openldap 2.3.34.

I believe I have slapd setup correctly but I'm not completely

sure.

My /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file has...

  access to *
    by self write
    by * read
    by anonymous auth

---- this doesn't seem right to me - at the point you do access to * by *, every other ACL below that becomes meaningless. ----

 database        bdb
 suffix          "dc=my-domain,dc=com"
rootdn         "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com"
rootpw         {SSHA}xxxxx

My /etc/ldap.conf has the following lines (among others)...
 host MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:

127.0.0.1 base dc=my-domain,dc=com

If I do the following command...

ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com" -W

from the command line it asks for a password.

If I type the password I created with slapppassd and have as rootpw in slapd.conf it carries on and returns the following (with comments removed)...

search: 2 result: 32 No such object

---- you didn't give it an object to search for ----

So it appears that from the command line authentication with ldap is working.

---- yes, it is working ----

In my phpldapadmin config.php file i've modified the following lines... $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','host','MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious: 127.0.0.1'); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','port','389'); $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','auth_type','session');

When I go to phpldapadmin and do "Anonymous Bind" it connects and allows me to view the ldap tree.

---- yes, you allow that with your ACL's ----

If I try and login with user "Manager" and the password I use on the command line, it doesn't work giving me... "Bad username or password. Please try again."

I've also tried putting the following line to my config.php file but to no avail... $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','base',array('my-domain', 'com'));

Am I using the correct username? Are there any commands I can do to further check my ldap server is setup correctly? Are there any log files I can look at?

Thanks for all your help.

---- your login 'name' in phpldapadmin would likely have to be the rootbinddn at this stage... cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com as I think Alexander has already pointed out. The 'server' base array should be 'dc=my-domain,dc=com'
