ldap bind issue

[associates]

Hi,

I am having difficulty getting the openldap to work on my Ubuntu Server 11.04.

After following the steps as shown in the openldap server guide - https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html

I've created both backend.mycompany.com.au and frontend.mycompany.com.au. I got an error message saying "ldap_bind: Invalid credential (49)" when trying to run "sudo ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=mycompany,dc=com,dc=au -W -f frontend.mycompany.com.au.ldif

Here is my backend.mycompany.com.au.ldif

I have triple-checked between the frontend and the backend but unable to find any faults in them.

By the way, I am also unable to find slapd.conf file under /etc/ldap. All I can see under /ldap directory are ldap.conf, sasl, schema and slapd.d.

Any help that you could give is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
