Hi I am trying to search ldap user using the following command but with invalid credentials error: # ldapsearch -x -h ldap://ipm.example.net -p 389 -b "dc=example,dc=net" -D "uid=ldapbind,cn=users,cn=account,dc=example,dc=net" uid=ambariadmin1 -W Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) I have double checked the password but the error still persists. Before that, i have added a ldap bind user with the following procedure [root@example ~]# cat ldapbind.ldif dn: uid=ldapbind,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=net changetype: add objectclass: account objectclass: simplesecurityobject uid: ambaribind userPassword: secret123 passwordExpirationTime: 20380119031407Z nsIdleTimeout: 0 [root@example ~]# ldapmodify -h example.net -p 389 -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w 'secret123' -f ldapbind.ldif adding new entry "uid=ldapbind,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=net" [root@example ~]# ipa user-show ambaribind --raw --all dn: uid=ldapbind,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=net uid: ldapbind nsaccountlock: FALSE has_password: TRUE has_keytab: FALSE objectClass: account objectClass: simplesecurityobject objectClass: top Without bind user, i can search the user [root@example ~]# ldapsearch -x -h ipa.example.net -p 389 -b "cn=ambari,dc=example,dc=net" uid=ambariadmin1 Can any one plz guide me where is the issue ?
