i have configuration in slapd.conf
database bdb suffix "dc=example,dc=com" rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" rootpw secret
when i try to bind / to search : I got the following error
[root@joko root]# ldapsearch -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com' -w secret -b "dc=example,dc=com" SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Internal (implementation specific) error (80) additional info: SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database [root@joko root]#
Adding the -x argument for simple authentication may work for you.
