[Fedora-directory-users] Can't login to console

[Bliss, Aaron]

If you can resolve the machine name via dns or local files, try this
section of this wiki 
 
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:AdminServerLDAPMgmt 
 
I had the exact same problems and this took care of it

Subject: Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Can't login to console



I am running Apache 2.0.52

As far as verifying that my directory server is up and running:

ns-slapd is running under the dsuser account
httpd.worker is running under the dsuser account

I fear I need help with ldapsearch.

If I try the following as root:


ldapsearch -LLL "(cn=Directory Manager)"


I get:


ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)


If I try the following:


ldapsearch -LLL "(cn=Directory Manager)" -x -W


it prompts me for a password. I enter the administrator (dsadmin)
password and get:


ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)


This may indicate something is wrong, ot simply that I am trying to use
ldapsearch incorrectly.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

-Mont

	What version of Apache are you running on the system?

	Make sure that your directory server is up and running.  You
should try
	doing an ldapsearch as the same user you are attempting to log
into the
	Console as.  If all else fails, tail your DS access log when you
attempt 
	to log in via Console to see if the Directory is even getting
hit.
