Re: Are my ldapadd and ldapsearch accessing the DB ?

Hi again..here is some more information that might be of help.

After installing and setting up the openldap server, I ran a application program (Directory.java) that creates actor objects and registers them (their actor ids and actor attributes) at the ldap server. The error message I get is that the attributes are not being added to the ldap server. The exact error message is as below
______________________________________________________________________
Directory: AddActor Error : netscape.ldap.LDAPReferralException: referral (9); Referral:
ldap://oops.i.did.it.again; Partial results and referral received
______________________________________________________________________

I have re-installed the Berkeley DB several times and the same goes with the openldap software. Each time following the respective quick start guides to the letter !! But with this referral error, I'm quite lost. I can't figure out where to start to look from coz all I want is a stand alone ldap server and thatz what I have (I think) specified in the slapd.conf file.

So, even if anybody can hint/suggest where the possible error might be, I can atleast explore all possibilities. Right now, I don't know where to begin with. So, please let me know .... would be pretty grateful.

herez my slapd.conf file once again :

Hi,

what is your slapd.config? especially the section 'referral'?
have you added also the complete suffix?

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Folks,

this is one more LDAP newbie trying to get a directory service working. I
started with installing a Berkeley Sleepycat (ldbm) database and later
installed the latest version of the openldap server.

As far as I can gather, I have got the ldap server running on our research

machine listening to port 3089 (with command "./slapd "ldap://:3089";)

I then continued with the "Add initial entries to your directory" step in
the openldap quickstart guide. The ldif file is as follow:
___________________________
dn: o=dsm.ics.uci.edu,c=US
objectclass: organization
o: dsm.ics.uci.edu
dc: dsm.ics.uci.edu

dn: cn=Manager,o=dsm.ics.uci.edu,c=US
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager
___________________________

Issued the command:
___________________________
./ldapadd -h agastya.ics.uci.edu -p 3089 -x -D
"cn=Manager,o=dsm.ics.uci.edu,c=US" -W -f composeldif.ldif
___________________________


and got the results:
___________________________
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "o=dsm.ics.uci.edu,c=US"
ldap_add: Referral

ldif_record() = 10
___________________________

At this moment, I'm not sure from the message if the add has gone
right. Nor do I understand what "ldap_add: Referral" means. So, I issued a

ldapsearch command:
___________________________
./ldapsearch -h agastya.ics.uci.edu -p 3089 -x -b 'o=dsm.ics.uci.edu,c=US'
'(objectclass=*)'
___________________________

And got to see the output:
___________________________
version: 2

#
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 10 Referral
ref: ldap://oops.i.did.it.again

# numResponses: 1
___________________________

My Question:
I don't see the base dn in the output. DOes that mean my install has a
problem ?

Also, I'm looking to run a single ldap server. I need no referral
setup. The ref url specified is used more as a debugging message when the
command doesn't work. What does "result: 10 Referral" mean ?!

I looked for a similar issue on the archives but found a mail that was
unanswered. Hence, this now !

thanks in advance,
~suraj
