Low Sensitivity/Aerospace Internal Use Only Vikas, thanks for replying some more, but your last email is a little out of context for me personally.
I did drop the -b argument (and the associated value) and still the slapd daemon crashed. I am starting to wonder if this is an OpenLDAP or LTB Project OpenLDAP problem since no one else is chiming in with solutions and troubleshooting. As for the slaptest, it didn't generate any content into the slapd.d directory at all. I mentioned this to the person I was collaborating with since I am attempting to document a process from scratch-to-finish. That same person suggested I attempt to use ApacheDirectoryStudio to interact with the slapd and configurations. I just attempted to connect to the cn=config ??Context?? And I was able to add an attribute ( olcTLSCipherSuite), but as soon as I attempted to add a value ( HIGH:MEDIUM+TLSv1+SSLv3) the connection dropped in ApacheDirectoryStudio.

In ldap modify, you don't need to use -b. You can do the same thing with slapd.conf file. later on, you can create a slapd.d directory with the help of slaptest command. slaptest -f slapd.conf -F slapd.d In this temporary directory, you will get a configuration({0}config.ldif) file under slapd.d/cn=conifg directory. you can replace it and resxtart the service. Or in current ldapmodify, please run it with deeper debug level. You may use -d option for it.

And I don't know if it makes any difference, but I don't have TLS configurations in place yet; that is what I am attempting to accomplish. Anyway, after performing the following command: ldapmodify -ZZ -x -W -D cn=admin,cn=config -v -f /tmp/LDAP-CONFIG-TLS.ldif I got the following error in response: ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> ) ldap_start_tls: Protocol error (2) Additional info: unsupported extended operation Thanks for the help, Warron French, MBA, SCSA From: "Ulrich Windl" <[email protected]> To: "Warron S French" <[email protected]>, < [email protected]>, Date: 01/27/2014 02:34 AM Subject: Antw: OpenLDAP slapd problems - ldap_result: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) --- Low Sensitivity/Aerospace Internal Use Only >>> Warron S French <[email protected]> schrieb am 24.01.2014 um 17:28 in Nachricht <ofe6bbfcb7.3c423e61-on85257c6a.005a0b4c-85257c6a.005a6...@notes.aero.org >: > Low Sensitivity/Aerospace Internal Use Only > > Working on a CentOS-6.5 server, running LTB Project's slapd-2.4.38. > > Someone suggested I implement a cn=admin,cn=config for a cn=config setup. > (I don't know how to technically word that). > > > Anyway, I need to make TLS-related changes and was told to do the > following command: > > ldapmodify -x -D "cn=admin,cn=config" -W -d 256 Try "ldapmodify -ZZ -x -W -D cn=_your_admin_-v -f _your_ldif_file" > > ...then at the blank line type the following, each on a single line: > > Dn: cn=config > Changetype: modify > Add: olcTLSCipherSuite > OlcTLSCipherSuite: HIGH:MEDIUM+TLSv1+SSLv3 > <CTRL-D> > > > I have been getting an error reponse of: > ldap_result: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) > > This __ONLY__ occurs after I hit <CTRL-D>, not before.
