Dear Gonzalo
Thank you so much. You have done the great work. Actually your command
# echo -e 'rootpw\t\t' `slappasswd -s foo` >> /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
Solved the problem. I have understood that the password I generated
using slappasswd -s foo >>/etc/rootpass and then cat it to
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf did not work because it adds some extra
character , I realized now.
Thanks again
Wish you all the best
Cheers
selim

Selim,
That's not right. You put the root password on it's own line in
slapd.conf. Edit slapd.conf, remove the line which contains the
password on it's own, edit the rootpw line and paste the password
generated by slappasswd. Alternatively, if you really want to do it
from command line, remove the rootpw line altogether then save
slapd.conf, and type something like the following in:
# echo -e 'rootpw\t\t' `slappasswd -s foo` >> /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
&& service ldap restart
Cheers,
Gonzalo.
