Greetings 389 users, I am a sysadmin that has never really used LDAP before. I have installed 389-ds and am a little stuck as to how to start. I am using Debian Buster... 389-ds: Installed: 1.4.0.21-1 >From the site: https://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/howto/howto-install-389.html I see it recommends setting a .dsrc file to ease usage as the root user: For local instance administration (on the server), you want to use settings like: # cat ~/.dsrc [localhost] # Note that '/' is replaced to '%%2f'. uri = ldapi://%%2fvar%%2frun%%2fslapd-localhost.socket basedn = dc=example,dc=com binddn = cn=Directory Manager I don't have the socket file in my installation. I don't see any sockets owned by the directory service: # systemctl status dirsrv@gopher.service ● dirsrv@gopher.service - 389 Directory Server gopher. Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dirsrv@.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2020-05-13 12:38:22 CDT; 2h 5min ago Main PID: 12270 (ns-slapd) Status: "slapd started: Ready to process requests" Tasks: 25 (limit: 4722) Memory: 19.2M CGroup: /system.slice/system-dirsrv.slice/dirsrv@gopher.service └─12270 /usr/sbin/ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-gopher -i /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-gopher.pid # tree /var/run/dirsrv /var/run/dirsrv ├── slapd-gopher.pid └── slapd-gopher.stats The Debian package states to initialize the server to run the command: /usr/sbin/setup-ds I don't know if that is a distribution agnostic program or not. The command did prompt me for a password - which I entered. When I run a command like dsidm or ldapmodify, the command prompts me for a password. I enter the one that was prompted for with setup-ds, but I get: SASL/SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication started Please enter your password: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49) I guess I have two questions. 1. Should there be a socket somewhere owned by slapd for local communication? 2. What password should I enter for ldap<command> and dsidm? Thanks for any pointer, advice, or help! -m _______________________________________________ 389-users mailing list -- 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to 389-users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
