What is my BaseDN supposed to be with the following configuration of OpenLDAP?
- by fuzzy lollipop
I have the following in my OpenLDAP configuration. Using the latest version OpenLDAP on Centos 5.3. Installed using yum.
From my /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
database bdb
suffix "dc=company,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=company,dc=com"
From my /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
BASE dc=company,dc=com
I have successfully added an entry with ldapadd and retrieved it with ldapsearch from a local bash shell on the box.
Now I am trying to get a Graphical Editor to connect to this server remotely so I can enter people from my laptop. But I am having no luck. I tried JXplorer, and it connects with Anonymous bind without me having to specify a BaseDN but I can't edit anything that way.
If I try and give it a user name and password, using Manager and my rootpw I have in clear text just for testing, every GUI Client on my remote laptop complains about my BaseDN not being the correct format when I enter dc=company,dc=com and I tried cn=Manager,dc=company,dc=com.
Error opening connection:
[LDAP: error code 34 - invalid DN]
I have tried multiple clients and all of them connect as anonymous, none let me connect authenticated where I can actually create or edit anything.
I am using Manager as my username and the password from rootpw, is that correct?
