In the above configuration, it would appear that 'secret' is the password for rootbinddn of "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=net" the error 49 does indeed mean what it says, invalid credentials meaning the user/password combination isn't working. try ldapsearch -x -h localhost -b "dc=example,dc=net" \ -s sub "objectclass=*" -W -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=net' Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
