Thanks to Tim for pointing out a logical next step. I was spending so
much time trying to figure out how to create the admin user, it didn't
dawn on me that the user already existed, but phpldapadmin was
attempting to auth the wrong way.
In the config file for phpldapadmin is this paragraph:
/* If you specified 'cookie' or 'session' as the auth_type above, you
can
optionally specify here an attribute to use when logging in. If
you enter
'uid' and login as 'dsmith', phpLDAPadmin will search for
(uid=dsmith)
and log in as that user.
Leave blank or specify 'dn' to use full DN for logging in. Note
also that if
your LDAP server requires you to login to perform searches, you
can enter the
DN to use when searching in 'login_dn' and 'login_pass' above. You
may also
specify 'string', in which case you can provide a string to use
for logging
users in. See 'login_string' directly below. */
// $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'login','attr','dn');
// $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'login','attr','uid');
When I got there, the bottom line was NOT commented out. So,
phpldapadmin was looking for a uid to auth against.
Bottom line; now I can modify the ldap data from the phpldapadmin
interface.
Thanks!
