I think I have ldap working but cannot login succesfully as manager. How do I set password for Manager in slapd.conf? _________________ PK

Something like the following:

Code:

slappasswd -h "{SSHA}"

You could also use MD5 as opposed to SSHA.

You would then edit /etc/openldap/slapd.conf and add the string returned from the above command:

Code:

rootpw {SSHA}lotsofgarbage=

restart slapd and you will then be able to ldapsearch, ldapadd, etc using the password suplied to slappasswd.
