Very Computer

Hi,

I'm running openldap on a RH7.3, and can't create any new records or
view the base dn...

My relevant information from slapd.conf is:-

suffix "o=KeCrypt,c=uk"
rootdn "cn=DirectoryManager,o=KeCrypt,c=uk"
rootpw <thingy>

directory /var/lib/ldap

The index lines are as per the default initial slapd.conf.

I can connect to my ldap server okay both locally and remotely as the
directory manager, but can't seem to create any objects either via
ldapadd, slapadd or using Ldap browser. Ldap brower complains "Reason:
[LDAP: error code 1 - Operations Error]". Part of the problem might be
that in LDAP browser it can't locate the entry for the suffix...

Help!

what access lines do you have?

How have you initialized your databse? You might want to do it afain. Delete
all data and follow the instructions in:

My slapd.conf is as follows:-
# Sample Access Control
#       Allow read access of root DSE
#       Allow self write access
#       Allow authenticated users read access
#       Allow anonymous users to authenticate
#
#access to dn="" by * write
access to *
        by self write
        by users read
        by anonymous auth
#
# if no access controls are present, the default is:
#       Allow read by all
#
# rootdn can always write!

# ldbm database definitions

database        ldbm    
suffix          "o=KeCrypt,c=gb"
rootdn          "cn=DirectoryManager,o=KeCrypt,c=gb"

# Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should
# be avoided.  See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details.
# Use of strong authentication encouraged.
rootpw <A SHA HASH>

# The database directory MUST exist prior to running slapd AND
# should only be accessible by the slapd/tools. Mode 700 recommended.
directory       /var/lib/ldap

# Indices to maintain
index   objectClass,uid,uidNumber,gidNumber,memberUid   eq
index   cn,mail,surname,givenname                       eq,subinitial

The only change from the real one is the rootpw ;>

Trying to use the sample ldif file as per the instructions gives me
the operations error...

Any suggestions welcome,

TIA,
Richard.
