I can confirm that running the command above on a clean maverick install with slapd + ldaputils generates the error as described above. This is a change in behaviour from lucid where the command above returns:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) You can work around this by not specifying the -W option (Prompt for simple authentication) - it appears that in the version of ldaputils in maverick [-W] and [-w passwd] conflict with each other. ** Changed in: openldap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: openldap (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Summary changed: - ldapadd -w password parameter causes assertion failure + ldapadd -W with -w password parameter causes assertion failure -- ldapadd -W with -w password parameter causes assertion failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/680358 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
