Re: Re: Re: ldapadd -> ldap_bind: Invalid credentials
Hello,
Thank you for replying.
I do have the following entry in my slapd.conf
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=mydom,dc=com,o=Columbus,c=US"
I am lost with the DN and similar stuff. Where do I learn the key syntax of LDAP?
Since the above entry is in my slapd.conf, why is the system still spewing out the
"Invalid credentials" error message?
The 3 things I would like to do with LDAP are setup authentication for remote VPN users,
mapping the systems on the network, setting up mail (Qmail + LDAP). I don't know the
real use of the 3rd item in my list yet.
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards.
