If your system does not already have the slapd server installed, you will have to install it. The specifics here vary between distributions - on Fedora Core, it is simply a matter of giving the command

Quote:

yum install ldap-servers

The next step is to configure the LDAP server by editing the file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf. We only need to change a couple of things in here. Nominally, the address book serves a domain, and we need to set the suffix entry for that; and we also need to set the DN (Distinguished Name) and password hash for the administrator or manager account..

try this command

Quote:

ldapadd -h localhost -p 389 -D "cn=ADMIN,o=UserID" -f ldap/UserID.ldif -x -w password

UserID should be your Username and password should be your new password going to set
