http://serverfault.com – I am having trouble getting an "out of the box" openldap server working. The examples on the openldap site stiull refer to the slapd.conf file, but the install does not make that. if I start the server (service slapd start) I do not get any errors, but cannot connect ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1) anyone have a simple howto for v2.4 ? I am on fedora15, installed openldap-servers and clients via yum. I have phpldapadmin installed that I can try and connect with once I can get the command line working (HowTos)

Hi M trying to install sendmail server on rhel6.i am having problem in setting up openldap. Please help

regards Mukesh following is slapd.conf

# # See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options. # This file should NOT be world readable. #

include /etc/openldap/schema/corba.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openlda

I'm using SLED-11 SP2 32 bit, & I'm able to compile & start the slapd on my system.

The slapd.conf file belongs to an openldap server not a client. You need to look at /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and /etc/pam_ldap.conf and /etc/nslcd.conf (assuming you are running CentOS 6). If... [by TrevorH]

I've configured a second host to replicate the main LDAP server via syncrepl in the slapd.conf:

syncrepl rid=666 provider=ldaps://my-main-server.com type=refreshAndPersist searchBase="dc=Staff,dc=my-main-server,dc=com" filter="(objectClass=*)" scope=sub schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=repadmin,dc=my-main-serve

I'm going to integrate the check_mk's Multisite with OpenLDAP.
