[KLUG Members] first ldap question

[Richard Harding]

Here we go...ldap testing take one. I installed the packages on my 
Debian system and started out with the base Debian slapd.conf.

I have set up DNS on my box internally for the domain home.ricksweb.info 
(I have the rickweb.info domain hosted elsewhere)

The DNS is working and ldap appears to be working. If I run:
	ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=home,dc=ricksweb,dc=info' '(objectclass=*)'

I get the following:
	# extended LDIF
	#
	# LDAPv3
	# base <dc=home,dc=ricksweb,dc=info> with scope sub
	# filter: (objectclass=*)
	# requesting: ALL
	#

	# home.ricksweb.info
	dn: dc=home,dc=ricksweb,dc=info
	objectClass: top
	objectClass: dcObject
	objectClass: organization
	o: ricksweb
	dc: home

	# admin, home.ricksweb.info
	dn: cn=admin,dc=home,dc=ricksweb,dc=info
	objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
	objectClass: organizationalRole
	cn: admin
	description: LDAP administrator

	# search result
	search: 2
	result: 0 Success

	# numResponses: 3
	# numEntries: 2


Now I am following the openldap documentation and attempting to insert 
using the following example.ldif file: ( I got it from the quickstart 
docs from OpenLDAP )
	dn: dc=home,dc=ricksweb,dc=info
	objectclass: dcObject
	objectclass: organization
	o: ricksweb
	dc: home.ricksweb

	dn: cn=Manager,dc=home,dc=ricksweb,dc=info
	objectclass: organizationRole
	cn: Manager


When I attempt to load it with the command
	ldapadd -x -W -f example.ldif

I get a password prompt and once I put in the password I get a Invalid 
credentials (49) error. Now I did some google searching and came across 
making sure you have a rootdn and rootpw set in the slapd.conf. So I 
added these lines and then restarted slapd...no luck.

Any idea what is causing the error and how I can correct?

Thanks.

I am including my slapd.conf below for completeness.
