My first time trying to marry LDAP as a backend to Samba. I'm following the instructions at: this site and I'm stumbling when I get to the part 5 with the following error: "ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)" Googling has pointed me towards the slapd.conf file but I don't have one in the /etc/ldap directory or anywhere on disk despite having installed ldap twice and running a dpkg-reconfigure twice. Has the configuration file for slapd been changed recently?

LDAP 49 is basically failed to connect for credential reasons. Could be a bad DN. Could be a bad password. Could be a locked account, and so on.

This isn't an issue with what you are trying to do per se, but an issue of having the correct user & password. Also note that OpenLDAP supports the config being part of the database now, so having a slapd.conf is optional openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html#Configuration Layout – uSlackr Apr 28 '11 at 13:13
