After install the openldap (slapd) from Debian package repository (using the version 2.4.57+dfsg-3~bpo10+1, database created by the dpkg configuration script provide by apt), the admin user (cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com) in could not be found either when performing ldapsearch or viewing the structure of the organisation in phpldapadmin / Apache directory studio.
result of ldapsearch: ------------ root@ldap:~# ldapsearch -x -b "dc=example,dc=com" # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=example,dc=com> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL # # example.com dn: dc=example,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: dcObject objectClass: organization o: example.com dc: exmaple # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success ------------ However, using ldapwhoami (ldapwhoami -vvv -h ldap.example.com -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -x -w password) can return a successful result. result of ldapwhoami: ------------ ldap_initialize( ldap://localhost ) dn:cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com Result: Success (0) ------------ A similar issue can be found here: https://github.com/osixia/docker-openldap/issues/555 on Github. According to the user in Github, this issue is first occurred in openldap 2.4.57 (https://github.com/osixia/docker-openldap/releases/tag/v1.5.0 I'm not sure whether it is a feature or a bug of slapd.
