Since posting my first email I have re-generated both the root and Manager passwords and re-run the setup. I no longer get the "Invalid credentials" error so presumably the problem must have been a cut/paste issue. I now get the following error. As I am a total newbie to LDAP and don't really know what's going on, I don't know what I need to do to fix it. [root@ollie2 ~]# ldapadd -x -D cn=Manager,dc=ringways,dc=com -W -f basedomain.ldif Enter LDAP Password: adding new entry "dc=ringways,dc=com" ldap_add: Naming violation (64) additional info: value of single-valued naming attribute 'dc' conflicts with value present in entry [root@ollie2 ~]# cat basedomain.ldif # replace to your own domain name for "dc=***,dc=***" section dn: dc=ringways,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: dcObject objectclass: organization o: Ringways dc: Server dn: cn=Manager,dc=server,dc=world objectClass: organizationalRole cn: Manager description: Directory Manager dn: ou=People,dc=ringways,dc=com objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: People dn: ou=Group,dc=ringways,dc=com objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: Group [root@ollie2 ~]# _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
