ldapadd -> ldap_bind: Invalid credentials

["Subba Rao" <sailorn@attglobal.net>]

Hi,

I have compiled openldap-2.0.23 with the defaults in the "configure"
script. After installing, I created a new password using slappasswd.
I have also created a test LDIF file. Now I am trying to add a record
to the LDIF file. When I use "ldapadd" command I get the error message:

	ldap_bind: Invalid credentials

I searched through the archive but the solution suggested was to create
a new passwd and enter it into "slapd.conf". I compiled and reinstalled
openldap and the same problem persists.

What did I miss here? Could someone please let me know what I need to
do to get this working?

Thank you in advance.
