Hi all,

I installed LDAP on my ubuntu 10.10 system, using the tutorial found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html

Everything seems to be working well, when logged into the server via ssh I can run commands like:

> ldapsearch -xLLL -b "dc=easydita,dc=com" uid=john sn givenName cn

dn: uid=john,ou=people,dc=easydita,dc=com
sn: Doe
givenName: John
cn: John Doe

So I think that's a good sign that things are working well.

However I have had zero luck connecting to the server remotely via GUI tools or command line. I have tied JXplorer, and LDAP administration tool.

Running commands like this:

> ldapsearch -xLLL -W -H ldap://ice.rit.edu -d1 "dc=easydita,dc=com"

I am pretty sure that I set up the admin password correctly, but the tutorial was not very specific about that. (Also could not find instructions on how to reset admin password.)

Additional info: I was told that this file might hold important information so I will post it:

/etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={0}config.ldif

objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig

Given that it seems I have this almost set up correctly is there any steps I can take to correct this?

Thanks,

Casey
