I am trying to setup LDAPD but keep running into 'Base DN' issues. My
coluege managed to get OpenLDAP working on a linux server but as LDAPD
is now available for OBSD I am keen to switch to ldap servers before we
start to populate our directory. I've managed to get the ldap web gui
phpldapadmin to talk to LDAPD but after logging in we get the following.
? dn=example, dn=com
This base entry does not exist. Create it ? < the 'create it' link is a
javascript link that doesn't do anything!
This page describes the issue with phpLDAPadmin and baseDN but I haven't
been able to get it to work.
http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FAQ#How_does_PLA_work_out_the_BASE_DN.3F
Our phpLDAPadmin connection is using 'ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fldapi/' as
to avoid ssl, sasl issues.
I was wondering if the issue is related to ldapd acl's and have tried
putting some entried into the ldapd.conf file but no joy. Running
ldapsearch I can see that the DN and Base appear to be empty, My guess
is that this is where the issue is.
# ldapsearch -LLL -x -h localhost -b '' -s base +
dn:

# extended LDIF
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be ?
Thanks
