I have the same problem here with slapd 2.2.26-5ubuntu2.2 on Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS. I am prompted for a password (and confirmation of the password) when installing the package, but this password does not work for the created admin user (cn=admin,dc=nodomain)
Using "strings" on id2entry.db I found and cracked the password that it stored for my admin user. Turns out it is a blank password. This is repeatable, happens every time I install the slapd package. A workaround to get a usable directory: The problem is that you cannot authenticate with a blank password. I get ldap_bind: Server is unwilling to perform (53) additional info: unauthenticated bind (DN with no password) disallowed To get around this, I added rootdn "cn=admin,dc=nodomain" rootpw "changeme" to /etc/slapd.conf and restarted slapd. Then I used ldappasswd to set a new password for my admin user: ldappasswd -x -D cn=admin,dc=nodomain -w changeme Then I removed rootdn & rootpw from slapd.conf and restarted slapd again, and was able to continue with my new password. -t -- admin password set by debconf during install is not valid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66925 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
