The _sasl_plugin_load error started only after I installed the libsasl2-modules-ldap hoping that that might solve the problem. But no, it didn't. Now what I connect to the server using my addressbook client (KDE Addressbook LDAP Resource), I get the following errors. 7 20 Feb 10 04:22:51 learner slapd[1441]: SASL [conn=6] Error: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory 7 20 Feb 10 04:22:51 learner slapd[1441]: last message repeated 2 times 7 20 Feb 10 04:22:51 learner slapd[1441]: SASL [conn=6] Failure: no secret in database 3 4 Feb 10 04:22:51 learner [kdeinit] ldap /tmp/ksocket-rrs/klauncherYPhlab.s: attempting client step after doneflag 7 20 Feb 10 04:22:51 learner slapd[1441]: connection_operation: error: SASL bind in progress (tag=66). 7 20 Feb 10 04:22:52 learner slapd[1441]: SASL [conn=7] Error: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory 7 20 Feb 10 04:22:52 learner slapd[1441]: last message repeated 2 times 7 20 Feb 10 04:22:52 learner slapd[1441]: SASL [conn=7] Failure: no secret in database 3 4 Feb 10 04:22:52 learner [kdeinit] ldap /tmp/ksocket-rrs/klauncherYPhlab.s: attempting client step after doneflag 7 20 Feb 10 04:22:52 learner slapd[1441]: connection_operation: error: SASL bind in progress (tag=66). There is no folder named /etc/sasldb2 on my system. How am I supposed to create it ? Is it correct for slapd to look at that path ?
