There isn't indeed. The most probable cause is that the access is blocked in
/etc/hosts.{allow,deny} - you have to allow access to the slapd service.
Increase the loglevel in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf (set it to 8) and you'll
see in the logs what's wrong.

After a long time fiddling around I've finally managed to get it running. As far as I can tell now there was no error in the config. You've just the problem that you're standing before it and have no clue what you should do, can do or even what you actually want... :-) We're using it now for RADIUS authentification and I personally for saving my bookmarks in a Roaming account that Netscape reads automatically.

The beginnings of a HOWTO is available at http://www.ice-works.com/personal/LaterDude/LDAP-Authentication-HOWTO.html ... it hasn't been enough to get me going but it's the best I've found. I'm puzzling over LDAP, it's something I think I want but I'm not sure why. For much of what I see I can't help but think why not use an SQL server? Fraser P.S. Does anyone know if there is there something wrong with the default configuration of OpenLDAP in potato? I cannot connect to my server with any of the command line (or other) tools.
LDAP on debian
Well, I don't know where to start. Well... There's someone who want to learn LDAP (ME :) Debian is using LDAP to authenticate users but I couldnt realize how it's done. The LDAP-guide is not well documented and I don't understand it very well... The first problem is to setup an LDAP server. How to use it, how to configure it. Then how to configure a host to use LDAP as the server to authenticate. I know there's pam-ldap and nss-ldap. But how d.org do that? I need the guidelines, for example, there's a lot of files in /etc/openldap/ which are in the ldif format? How does slapd run? I mean which files in the configuration dir uses? How to configure a database for the authentication purposes? How to add/remove entries in the database? When the configuration file change, how to update the running slapd server? Does LDAP has accounting? (like /var/log/wtmp?) I read a lot of the ldap-guide. Classes, persons attributes, but couldn't find a way to join each other with the authentication. I mean the interaction of the diferent parts do setup an LDAP-authenticated based network. Is there any HOWTO's Is there any text explaining how does it work? I mean The guide explain how to get, untar, configure, compile, install, run, change things, what it is, netscape... But nothing as to how the database must be for authentication purposes. -- Bye Carlos Barros.
