Public bug reported: So I was trying to document configuring a new OpenLDAP install in Maverick but I ran into problems pretty quick. After I import my backend.ldif file I am unable to import the front end because of the error "Invalid credentials (49)".
Here is what I did. I can't see any mistakes so far: sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils load some additional schema files sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/nis.ldif sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/inetorgperson.ldif create a file called "backend.lan.local.ldif" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Load dynamic backend modules dn: cn=module,cn=config objectClass: olcModuleList cn: module olcModulepath: /usr/lib/ldap olcModuleload: back_hdb # Database settings dn: olcDatabase=hdb,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig objectClass: olcHdbConfig olcDatabase: {1}hdb olcSuffix: dc=lan,dc=local olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/ldap olcRootDN: cn=admin,dc=lan,dc=local olcRootPW: secret olcDbConfig: set_cachesize 0 2097152 0 olcDbConfig: set_lk_max_objects 1500 olcDbConfig: set_lk_max_locks 1500 olcDbConfig: set_lk_max_lockers 1500 olcDbIndex: objectClass eq olcLastMod: TRUE olcDbCheckpoint: 512 30 olcAccess: to attrs=userPassword by dn="cn=admin,dc=lan,dc=local" write by anonymous auth by self write by * none olcAccess: to attrs=shadowLastChange by self write by * read olcAccess: to dn.base="" by * read olcAccess: to * by dn="cn=admin,dc=lan,dc=local" write by * read ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ load it into the LDAP sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f backend.lan.local.ldif Create a file called "frontend.lan.local.ldif" on the server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Create top-level object in domain dn: dc=lan,dc=local objectClass: top objectClass: dcObject objectclass: organization o: lan Organization dc: lan description: LDAP lan # Admin user. dn: cn=admin,dc=lan,dc=local objectClass: simpleSecurityObject objectClass: organizationalRole cn: admin description: LDAP administrator userPassword: secret dn: ou=people,dc=lan,dc=local objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: people dn: ou=groups,dc=lan,dc=local objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: groups dn: ou=computers,dc=lan,dc=local objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: computers dn: uid=john,ou=people,dc=lan,dc=local objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount uid: john sn: Doe givenName: John cn: John Doe displayName: John Doe uidNumber: 1000 gidNumber: 10000 userPassword: password gecos: John Doe loginShell: /bin/bash homeDirectory: /home/john shadowExpire: -1 shadowFlag: 0 shadowWarning: 7 shadowMin: 8 shadowMax: 999999 shadowLastChange: 10877 mail: john....@lan.local postalCode: 31000 l: Toulouse o: lan mobile: +33 (0)6 xx xx xx xx homePhone: +33 (0)5 xx xx xx xx title: System Administrator postalAddress: initials: JD dn: cn=lan,ou=groups,dc=lan,dc=local objectClass: posixGroup cn: lan gidNumber: 10000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- import front end configuration sudo ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=lan,dc=local -W -f frontend.lan.local.ldif Here is where I get "Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)" >From what I can tell I haven't made any mistake. ** Affects: openldap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- After importing backend.ldif I get "Invalid credentials (49) " https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636363 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
