Adding users

[proberts]

I can’t seem to add a user under the users interface on the web interface. I receive the following error:

01:17:39 ERROR: while adding “uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=testnet,dc=net”

Am I missing something simple in the setup or are there more complete logs that I should be looking at to find out why?

Thanks.

Could you edit the /etc/kerbynet.conf file setting the DEBUG value to 2 and post the output of the command
tail -f /var/log/kerbynet.log
after you try to add an user?

[proberts]

I must be missing something.

After I finally remembered how to use vi 🙂 I was able to set and save DEBUG=2.

It won’t create the log in var/log even after the error happens when adding a user.

Do I have to reload something in order for the configuration change to work?

I think the problem is that the httpd daemon runs as apache user. Try to use these command to create the log file and assign it to apache user:

touch /var/log/kerbynet.log
chown apache /var/log/kerbynet.log

Thanks. I have a log now –but I can’t tell what’s wrong looking through it:

Try the command
/usr/local/bin/ldapadd -x -h 127.0.0.1 -D”cn=Manager,dc=testnet,dc=net” -w AdminPassword

and tell me the error message

[proberts]

There aren’t any files in /usr/local/bin but it looks like it exists in /usr/bin.

# /usr/bin/ldapadd -x -h 127.0.0.1 -D “cn=Manager,dc=testnet,dc=net” -w AdminPassword

I also tried with -W which prompted me for the LDAP password. No matter how I typed it in (wrong or right password) I get:

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

Is it the password associated with root or the admin user? I changed the root password so I could login through SSH.

[proberts]

Oh crud!

Let me try that again later…

After trying to login as root to my SUSE box for the last 15 minutes I…uhhh…think I tried that last command from the wrong SSH window…because I changed the password too…and somehow that’s what it took to login to SUSE 🙄

I’ll let you know the REAL results of that command later.

Thanks.

[proberts]

Okay, I have the results…but they aren’t very helpful…at least to me.

That command results in the cursor just sitting there and never returning to a prompt. No errors are ever returned.

Any ideas from that?

Try to ping the IP address 127.0.0.1. Are you sure the lo interface is up?
With netstat -an |grep 389 check if the ldap server listens on 0.0.0.0:389
