Hello everybody,

I am Rajesh Pandey from NIT, Jaipur. I have taken LDAP
implementation in college intranet as my final year
project.
I have downloaded openldap-2.1.29 from
www.openldap.org.
I have configured it on linux 2.4.21-4.ELsmp (Kernel
Release). It passed all the tests successfully. I have
addeed four entries by using the command :
 slapadd -v -l example.ldif
The directory contents are:
 dn: dc=example,dc=com
dc: example
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: Example Dot Com
structuralObjectClass: organizationalUnit
entryUUID: 3dfb901a-2e11-1028-9d78-cf3c4e57a002
creatorsName: cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com
modifiersName: cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com
createTimestamp: 20040429101053Z
modifyTimestamp: 20040429101053Z
entryCSN: 2004042910:10:53Z#0x0001#0#0000

dn: ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
ou: people
objectClass: organizationalUnit
structuralObjectClass: organizationalUnit
entryUUID: 3dfe1420-2e11-1028-9d79-cf3c4e57a002

Now, I want to add more entries, new attributes or modifications but
it prompts for password. When I provide password secret (as I did for
earlier entries also) it gives the error:

Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Inappropriate authentication (48)

My slapd.conf file is:

# access to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read
# access to *

Please suggest me what can be the problem and the way
to come out of it.
