set the logging verbosity to "debug". re-try the login. what does the log say? in general, it seems that you really need to get a better idea about LDAP and how these things work in general before doing customer work with them. LDAP is not simple, period. jens On Friday, Feb 21, 2003, at 01:19 US/Eastern, Krishna wrote:

Hi Jens,

Thanks a ton for the solution!!....It worked fine. But now i have a different problem alltogether !! :-( The thing is I could add / modify users from the ZMI, but it seems that I have locked my self out of my own site !!!!....This is what i did ....

My "Access Control Lists" in the slapd.conf file reads this....

access to filter="objectclass=cdObject" by dn="cn=Manager,dc=mysite,dc=com" write

...and the "ldbm database definitions" are...

...

...

database ldbm suffix "dc=mysite,dc=com" suffix "dc=zgroups-mysite,dc=com" rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=mysite,dc=com"

Within the ZMI I have configured the Manager DN as follows...

...

...

cn=Manager,dc=aon-resolution,dc=com and password the same.

I have users with the following specs....

...

...

Kris rock uid=krs,ou=People,dc=mysite,dc=com (objectClass=cdObject). I also have some users without that particular object class (ie. cdObject) in my user list.

Now... with all this I'am able to add / modify users but unable to authenticate into my site. Does this have something to do with the "access to filter="objectclass=cdObject" ??? ....I'm a bit lost ....need some light on this pleeeeeeaaaaseee.......!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance,

Kris :-)
