I am very new to the 389-ds. I have spent the last few days attempting to get samba up an running with 389-ds with ldap in ssl. or fefora-ds using ldap not a whole lot of luck there. In your case try adding -ZZ to your command i.e. "ldapsearch -x -ZZ -b o=netscaperoot -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w <password> "objectclass=nsAdminConfig" You might get more descriptive response. Im attaching to shell scripts you my or may not find useful. If you cannot get into your with the 389-console you may be able use the scripts to talk to you server. These shells were referenced from a link I found http://www.linuxmail.info/389-directory-server-setup-howto-centos-5/ Scott On 1/4/2011 11:55 AM, harry.devine at faa.gov wrote: > > I've been away from my 389-ds admin for a few months (I'm just > starting to get familiar with it), and I can't login using the user ID > "cn=Directory Manager".
