<body>We installed the NT4 LDAP Service (<SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-STYLE: normal; TEXT-DECORATION: none">ntds.msi</SPAN>) and have followed instructions as per ds71admin.pdf and we are encountering an issue when authenticating to the LDAP server.<BR>
<BR>
Prior to starting the service, we set the password in the usersync.conf file, but it seems that it "did not take". Using various LDAP clients, we receive the following error message when authenticating using "<FONT face=Courier size=1>uid=admin,ou=system":</FONT><BR>
<FONT face=Courier size=1>[Error 49] Invalid Credentials</FONT><BR>
LDAP: error code 49 - Bind failure<BR>
org.apache.ldap.common.exception.LdapAuthenticationException<BR>

<FONT face=Courier size=1>Oddly, when binding anonymously, we are able to connect normally and browse the contents of the SAM database. We tried authenticating using a number of username/password combinations, but none work. I'm a little worried about being able to bind anonymously... isn't this a security risk? Any way to turn that off?</FONT><BR>

<FONT face=Courier size=1>Reading through the guide, I understand that once started, the only way to change the password is by using an "LDAP Modify Operation". If this is the case, how do we do this?<BR><BR>Please advise. Thanks,</FONT><BR>
