Below, I show my OpenLDAP configuration. This is a fresh OpenLDAP installation on a fresh Debian Stretch installation.

I am unable to use ldapscripts. Regardless what I do, I get the errors shown at the end of the text below.

# Note for Debian users:

# On Debian system ldapscripts will try to parse and use nslcd config.

# Look on commented variables and description lines started with DEBIAN.

# But you could override it's values here.





# LDAP server

# DEBIAN: value from /etc/nslcd.conf (uri) is used.

SERVER="ldap://localhost"



# Suffixes

# DEBIAN: values from /etc/nslcd.conf (base maps) are used.

SUFFIX="dc=test,dc=mydomain,dc=com" # Global suffix

GSUFFIX="ou=Groups"        # Groups ou (just under $SUFFIX)

USUFFIX="ou=Users"         # Users ou (just under $SUFFIX)

MSUFFIX="ou=Machines"      # Machines ou (just under $SUFFIX)



# Authentication type

# DEBIAN: value from /etc/nslcd.conf (sasl_mech) is used.

# If empty, use simple authentication

# Else, use the value as an SASL authentication mechanism

SASLAUTH=""

#SASLAUTH="GSSAPI"



# Simple authentication parameters

# The following BIND* parameters are ignored if SASLAUTH is set

BINDDN="cn=admin,dc=test,dc=mydomain,dc=com"

# The following file contains the raw password of the BINDDN

# Create it with something like : echo -n 'secret' > $BINDPWDFILE

# WARNING !!!! Be careful not to make this file world-readable

BINDPWDFILE="/etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.passwd"

# For older versions of OpenLDAP, it is still possible to use

# unsecure command-line passwords by defining the following option

# AND commenting the previous one (BINDPWDFILE takes precedence)

#BINDPWD="secret"



# Start with these IDs *if no entry found in LDAP*

GIDSTART="10000" # Group ID

UIDSTART="10000" # User ID

MIDSTART="20000" # Machine ID



# Group membership management

# ObjectCLass used for groups

# Possible values : posixGroup, groupOfNames, groupOfUniqueNames (case-sensitive !)

# Warning : when using groupOf*, be sure to be compliant with RFC 2307bis (AUXILIARY posixGroup).

# Also, do not mix posixGroup and groupOf* entries up in you directory as, within RFC 2307bis,

# the former is a subset of the latter. The ldapscripts wouldn't cope well with this configuration.

GCLASS="posixGroup"   # Leave "posixGroup" here if not sure !

# When using  groupOfNames or groupOfUniqueNames, creating a group requires an initial

# member. Specify it below, you will be able to remove it once groups are populated.

# User properties

# DEBIAN: values from /etc/adduser.conf are used.

CREATEHOMES="no"      # Create home directories and set rights ?

#HOMESKEL="/etc/skel"  # Directory where the skeleton files are located. Ignored if undefined or nonexistant.

#HOMEPERMS="755"       # Default permissions for home directories



# User passwords generation

# Command-line used to generate a password for added users.

# You may use %u for username here ; special value "<ask>" will ask for a password interactively

# WARNING    !!!! This is evaluated, everything specified here will be run !

# WARNING(2) !!!! Some systems (Linux) use a blocking /dev/random (waiting for enough entropy).

#                 In this case, consider using /dev/urandom instead.

/var/log/ldapscripts.log does show a complaint about "invalid credentials". However, this happens whether I put my actual cn=admin password in /etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.passwd or whether I put the word "secret" in there.

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

  -> Error adding group test-user to LDAP

Notice the appearance of my username (my-username) in the above log output. This is in spite of the fact that I ran all OpenLDAP commands after su -l root.

What step am I missing to successfully use ldapscripts?

Had a similar issue i.e. same error: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

and the only way to solve it was to delete the ldapscripts.passwd and use

# echo -n "mypassword" > /etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.passwd

(before I edited the file directly with vi entering the password). HTH.
