[LDAP-interop] ldap authentication

[James Hartley]

I have followed gary tey's instructions for configuring an ldap server on
solaris 9. I use gary's scripts and have mirrored his configuration and his
files very closely.

I have a users called beowulf on the system and created the appropriate ldif
file for users and groups.

I have successfully compiled and installed all of the required software and
I have openldap running on my host. however I am having problems
authenicating when I attempt to use ldapsearch to examine the following

"uid=beowulf,ou=people,dc=bogus,dc=net"

I issued the following command

/usr/local/bin/ldapsearch -x -LLL -W -b
"uid=beowulf,ou=People,dc=bogus,dc=net"

my password for  rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=bogus,cd=net"   plaintext,  which I
type in when the ldapsearch command prompts me.

and I get the following error

ldap:bind   Invalid credentials (49)



and my access directive for the above command is


access to dn.subtree="ou=People,dc=bogus,dc=net"
   by self write
   by dn="cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=bogus,dc=net" read
   by users read
   by anonymous auth

any clues... I thought the the rootdn has the ability to read everything.

I can provide those that wish to see the details all of the associated
files.

Thanks for any suggestions
