View Full Version : [all variants] LDAP : Invalid credentials (49)

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to configure a simple LDAP server in order to replace my old NIS authentication system (was under Slackware 11). I have already installed OpenLDAP and other packages, including libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap, edited configuration files and launched the server. I must have botched something, however, because the use of:

ldapadd -x -D "cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=mysuffix" -W -f ./export_group_090609.ldif
returns the following error after I've typed my admin password in:

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

Here is the content of some config files, in case it helps:

/etc/ldap/slapd.conf
# This is the main slapd configuration file. See slapd.conf(5) for more
# info on the configuration options.

# The dbconfig settings are used to generate a DB_CONFIG file the first

And here is the /etc/default/slapd:

# Default location of the slapd.conf file. If empty, use the compiled-in
# default (/etc/ldap/slapd.conf). If using the cn=config backend to store
# configuration in LDIF, set this variable to the directory containing the
# cn=config data.
SLAPD_CONF=

# System account to run the slapd server under. If empty the server
# will run as root.
SLAPD_USER="openldap"

# System group to run the slapd server under. If empty the server will
# run in the primary group of its user.
SLAPD_GROUP="openldap"

# Path to the pid file of the slapd server. If not set the init.d script
# will try to figure it out from $SLAPD_CONF (/etc/ldap/slapd.conf by
# default)
SLAPD_PIDFILE=

# slapd normally serves ldap only on all TCP-ports 389. slapd can also
# service requests on TCP-port 636 (ldaps) and requests via unix
# sockets.
# Example usage:
# SLAPD_SERVICES="ldap://127.0.0.1:389/ ldaps:/// ldapi:///"
# SLAPD_SERVICES="ldap://pc00:389/ ldaps://pc00:636/" # modif 03/06/2009
# SLAPD_SERVICES="ldap://192.168.1.1:389 ldaps://192.168.1.1:636" # modif 08/06/2009
# SLAPD_SERVICES="ldap://pc00/389 ldaps://pc00/636" # modif 09/06/2009
SLAPD_SERVICES="ldap:/// ldaps:///"

# If SLAPD_NO_START is set, the init script will not start or restart
# slapd (but stop will still work). Uncomment this if you are
# starting slapd via some other means or if you don't want slapd normally
# started at boot.
#SLAPD_NO_START=1

# If SLAPD_SENTINEL_FILE is set to path to a file and that file exists,
# the init script will not start or restart slapd (but stop will still
# work). Use this for temporarily disabling startup of slapd (when doing
# maintenance, for example, or through a configuration management system)
# when you don't want to edit a configuration file.
SLAPD_SENTINEL_FILE=/etc/ldap/noslapd

# For Kerberos authentication (via SASL), slapd by default uses the system
# keytab file (/etc/krb5.keytab). To use a different keytab file,
# uncomment this line and change the path.
#export KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/krb5.keytab

# Additional options to pass to slapd
SLAPD_OPTIONS=""

Note that the SLAPD_SERVICES directive is giving me headaches and it may be the source of the problem... Any of the commented versions results in the following error message:

ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

But what startles me most with this problem is that editing or adding entries using LDAP Account Manager (LAM (http://lam.sourceforge.net/)) works like a charm! :shock: So, I wonder if I don't have something broken in my ldapadd command line...

Any help appreciated, thank you all.

It was merely a misspelling in the distinguished name that I kept retyping the wrong way. I leave my stupid question as a reminder: always double check spelling. :oops:
