hi there i'm trying to get my LDAP server on my RHEL server going and honestly i'm not sure what i'm doing but i just keep googleing and searching and so far i've managed to get it started *YaY*. but now i'm drying to connect to it i've downloaded this LDAP browser from
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/ and i'm trying to connect to it but i'm not sure of how the cn's& dn's and passwords and everything go together.
here is a read out of the files i think you need.
ldap.conf
# Your LDAP server. Must be resolvable without using LDAP.
host 127.0.0.1
# The distinguished name of the search base.
#base dc=redhat
base dc=redhat,dc=cathedral
dn: dc=redhat,dc=cathedral
objectClass: domain
dc: cathedral
slapd.conf

# postfix qmail

#prevents user froom looking at passwords
access to attr=userpassword,clearpassword
by anonymous auth
by self write
by dn="cn=admin,dc=redhat,dc=cathedral" write
by dn="cn=courier,dc=redhat,dc=cathedral" read
by * none
#files need access to this
access to attr=accountstatus

by dn="cn=courier,dc=redhat,dc=cathedral" read
access to *
by dn="cn=admin,dc=redhat,dc=cathedral" write
by users read

if there is some more information you need please tell me, or if you know a good how-to that starts at the basics, that'd be great too.
or if someone knows of a good graphical setup tool that i'd maybe get some idea of this with that'd be great as well.
