How To Use The DN to log onto the LDAP server with PHPLDAPAD

[Jyotishmaan Ray]

Dear All Members,

This is Jyotishmaan.

I have a small problem with phpldapadmin.

These are the lines of config.php file, which i have changed:-

$ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','name','My LDAP Server:
authdns(a)nits.ac.in');

$ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','host','127.0.0.1');

$ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','base',array('dc=nits,dc=ac,dc=in'));

$ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','auth_type','session');

$ldapservers->SetValue($i,'login','dn','');

$ldapservers->SetValue($i,'login','dn','cn=Manager,dc=nits,dc=ac,dc=in');

$ldapservers->SetValue($i,'login','pass','');

$ldapservers->SetValue($i,'login','pass','secret');


with
the above lines in config.php i am getting the following error message
displayed while logging onto the LDAP server with the phpldapadmin
browser:-


Could not bind to the LDAP server. LDAP said: Unknown errorError number: 0x1a
()Description:
 


Please note I have not used either TLS or SASL to connect  or authenticate with the LDAP
server. Is it important to do ??

However,
i have added two entries into the  bdb database over the ldap from the
root prompt using ldap command. the transcript of it is as given below:-

[root@authdns
bin]# ldapadd  -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=nits,dc=ac,dc=in" -W -f
/etc/openldap/test/.ldif/etc/openldap/test/.ldif: No such file or
directory
[root@authdns bin]# ldapadd  -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=nits,dc=ac,dc=in" -W -f
/etc/openldap/test/new.ldif
Enter LDAP Password: 
adding new entry "dc=nits,dc=ac,dc=in"

adding new entry "cn=Manager,dc=nits,dc=ac,dc=in"


But since i have the phpldapadmin browser,
 i would like to add all the entries using the browser.

Please let me know the necessary changed that needs to be done in the config.php file.

One more question, here i have to run the slapd deemon manually in the directory,
/usr/bin/slapd -d 65 &

I wish to run it directly using the command :-

service slapd restart

Now, should i include this service name directly in the file /etc/services file?

I would not like to take risk, so please help me???


Thanking you, for all the answers, in advance,

Can't comment on that.

With Fedora it is "service ldap restart", since the service script is
/etc/init.d/ldap

That file doesn't do what you think it does. It doesn't configure
services. It is just a mapping of service/protocol names to port
numbers, to be queried by programs or yourself with getent. See "man
services".
