Hi, I understand that bind operation has to be performed prior to any data being fetched.Now,i tried the foll: In my slapd.conf file,i have put rootdn "cn=admin, o=xxx Limited, c=IN" rootpw secret Now,in my ldap.conf file,i only have the foll. two lines: binddn cn=admin, o=xxx Limited,c=IN bindpw secret I have Openldap version 1.2.7-2 Now,in the slapd.conf file,i have provided the foll. ACL's : access to * by dn=".*, o=xxx Limited, c=IN" read by * search Now,when i start ldap,and try accessing info from netscape's address book as follows: After clicking on login with username & password,i get a dialog box asking to enter E-mail and password,i enter: E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] password:yyy's password But,it goes into an infinite loop searching...I waited for at least 3-4 minutes. In debug mode,it searches thru' all the entries and says "access granted by clause #2". I recently installed pam_ldap But,not too sure if it's working.How do i check that? Also,do i need any other packages for authorisation?
