However, when I added '-H ldap:///' to the ldapadd command, ensuring that

At this point the olcRootPW in my slapd.ldif is the default ("secret"),
and I can see that the base64 encoded olcRootPW in
"slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={1}mdb.ldif" is "olcRootPW:: c2VjcmV0"
(which is, in fact the base64 encoding for "secret").
Does anyone have debugging approaches that might help me sort out why
slapd isn't happy with the password? Also with regard to this mailing
list's protocol, would it be better to ask this question in a separate
thread?
What DN did you set for the rootDN? What DN did you use when attempting to
do your bind? Error 49 doesn't necessarily mean invalid credentials. The
rootdn + rootpw must be used in combination.
