UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi All,
I have configure openldap but when I test this its show me a massage that "Invalid Creedientials". I search for the slove at Google, Yahoo but I did not find any solution.

Plz help me.

A few possibilities:
(1) You have not yet configured any users yet. Some LDAP records may be configured in such a way that only specific users can access the record (instead of binding anonymously). You may need to at least create a "manager" account as described in the OpenLDAP manual.
(2) The authentication mechanism used is incorrect. Say SASL is expected but you have used simple (password-based) authentication.

It really depends on how you set up your OpenLDAP.

I know this is just an example, but the reverse also applies. For example in my corporate environment DS is cofigured for simple auth, but the openldap ldapsearch defaults to sasl, and I have to specify -x (I think) for simple auth.

This is what I did
inux# ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts
when i apply this command it will run fine but after

linux# ldapadd -x -D "cn=root,dc=simplex,dc=com" -W -f simplex.ldif

after apply that commamd it will ask for password. Now my question is that what password I should pass at here.
After giving my root password at here it gives me "Invalid Credential"

My another query is that for ldap DNS configuration is essential or not and if I configure DNS and LDAP on the same machine is it will work and what directive I have to use on slapd.conf file or named.conf file

My simplex.ldif configuration is

dc: dc=simplex,dc=com
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
o: Simplex
dc: simplex

dn: cn=root,dc=simplx,dc=com
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn: root

thats all my friend.

ThnX for your reaply.
