sasl-secprops none - in slapd.conf

[vsbenzi@weizmann.ac.il]

Hello,

 for the last several months I've studying OpenLDAP.
 Finally I got the courage to try it out.

 Platfrom - Solaris 5.6
 OpenLDAP 2.0.7
 BerkeleyDB 3.17
 openssl 0.96
 Cyrus-Sasl 1.5.24
 heimdal 0.3d

 All tests after compilations were successful.

 I 've added the following to slapd.conf :

####
# sasl stuff
####
sasl-host       uma.weizmann.ac.il
sasl-realm      WEIZMANN.AC.IL
sasl-secprops   none
 
 and to ldap.conf:

  SASL_SECPROPS none

running slapd -d 255 , yields:

[...]
  line 9 (schemacheck     on)
  line 14 (sasl-host      uma.weizmann.ac.il)
  line 15 (sasl-realm     WEIZMANN.AC.IL)  
  line 16 (sasl-secprops  none)
  line 24 (pidfile                /usr/local/var/slapd.pid)
  line 25 (argsfile       /usr/local/var/slapd.args)
  line 38 (database       ldbm)
  line 40 (suffix         "dc=weizmann, dc=ac, dc=il")
  line 41 (rootdn         "cn=Manager, dc=weizmann, dc=ac, dc=il")
  line 45 (rootpw         secret)
  line 48 (directory      /usr/local/var/openldap-ldbm)
  line 50 (index  objectClass     eq)
  index objectClass 0x0004
  slapd startup: initiated.
  slapd starting

Which looks okay.

while any programs from
./servers/slapd/tools/[slapadd,slapcat,slapindex], don't :

  line 9 (schemacheck     on)
  line 14 (sasl-host      uma.weizmann.ac.il)
  line 15 (sasl-realm     WEIZMANN.AC.IL)
  line 16 (sasl-secprops  none)
  /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 16: sasl-secprops: 
  No databases found in config file
  
ldap clients  works fine.

 If I remove the sasl-secprops line the slapd tools work , but then I
 don't see   the available sasl mechanisms.

 What do you think of that? Can you send some help here?


 thanx,
