rootdn DN is invalid.



Trying to use sasl and kerberos V to authenticate the admin user to the 
database through a service ticket.  I'm having one problem, though,  the 
server won't start up with the error message:  

/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 115: rootdn DN is invalid


Line 115 is: 

rootdn          "uid=ldapadmin,realm=krbrealm,cn=gssapi,cn=auth"

I'm using openldap 2.1.25, cyrus-sasl-2.1.17,  heimdal-0.6-20040113, 
, and db-4.2.52, on Solaris 8.  (I took your advice Howard, and moved to 
Solaris 8).

When I use a standard rootdn DN, like cn=Admin,dc=blah,dc=blah, everything 
works out fine, and I get the following features from the capabilities 
survey:

{root}60: ldapsearch -x -s base -b "" "(objectclass=*)" + 
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope base
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: +

I'm sure this is something really dumb, but I can't find any help online 
to solve this particular problem.  Thanks for your help, I really 
appreciate it.
