I confirm, with ldapsearch and a "sarge" machine. Now: # ldapsearch -x -y /etc/ldap.secret -D cn=admin,dc=eureg,dc=eu uid=foobar ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) # emacs -nw /etc/ldap.secret [Remove trailing newline] # ldapsearch -x -y /etc/ldap.secret -D cn=admin,dc=eureg,dc=eu uid=foobar # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 ...
