Later: I fixed the problem:
1. edit /etc/openldap/slapd.conf and make uid=bam have access to
everything instead of uid=root.
2. wonder why above change did nothing.
3. go back to step 1.
4. edit /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
5. wonder why change worked first go. <grin>.
6. change root's password, and everything is OK again.
So it seems that LDAP, at least the version advertised here will
replace your root password when being installed. Arrgghh!
Next challenge:
How do I start the server with TLS? I tried:
# slapd -h ldaps:///
but the client gives this error:
>ldapsearch -x -Duid=root,ou=People,dc=chocbit,dc=org,dc=au -W uid=root
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server
additional info: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
(oh, this time when I downgraded openldap the root password remained
OK, so don't know what happened before...)
