Hi,
Wonderful - the slapd.conf (see end) with a slight re-arrangement, works!
ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost/ -D cn=admin,dc=dighum,dc=kcl,dc=ac,dc=uk
-b dc=cch,dc=kcl,dc=ac,dc=uk
does not return userPassword attributes (the -D is convenience, no auth
is performed).
However,
ldapsearch -H ldapi:/// -D cn=admin,dc=dighum,dc=kcl,dc=ac,dc=uk -b
dc=cch,dc=kcl,dc=ac,dc=uk
Does return userPassword - which is what I want. The UNIX domain socket
is protected under a root directory mode 700 so only root can connect
this way - ie, local root use has full unauthenticated access to ldap
which is what I want, so that scripts may easily be run to maintain the
LDAP database.
The -D is meaningless in both cases. You're clearly using SASL Binds
(using Simple binds would require a -x) and SASL Binds always ignore the
Bind DN.
Thanks Howard,
LDAP auth (esp SASL) is a mystery to me as of now - that's the next bit
I will have to grok after getting the thing to dish up directories in
the right way :)
