Re: unable to perform authenticated binds



thanks for the input guys..

 I have to admit at this point, setting this up under FreeBSD was a
breeze compared to what is going on now.

 I have made 3 attempts at this today.. twice on CentOS 5.4 and once
on Ubuntu 10 Server.

 Given the differences in platform with identical outcomes I am
thinking that it _has_ to be something with my slapd.conf file.

 I am still getting error 49s even if I use the actual word secret as the pass.

Nov  2 19:02:00 ldap2 slapd[15768]: conn=0 fd=11 ACCEPT from
IP=127.0.0.1:44448 (IP=0.0.0.0:389)
Nov  2 19:02:00 ldap2 slapd[15768]: conn=0 op=0 BIND
dn="cn=Manager,dc=acadaca,dc=net" method=128
Nov  2 19:02:00 ldap2 slapd[15768]: conn=0 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=49 text=
Nov  2 19:02:00 ldap2 slapd[15768]: conn=0 fd=11 closed (connection lost)


And this is how my ldap.conf is setup

BASE    dc=acadaca,dc=net
HOST    localhost


 I would appreciate it greatly if someone could please give it a look.

 Thank you
