I am trying to setup a basic ldap server/client scenario. I downloaded openldap for windows and installed it. I am starting the server successfully with the command,

slapd -d 1

I tried to use various clients (commandline, LDAP Browser, phpLDAPadmin) to connect and do a search, it works with ‘anonymous access’ but it fails every time I try the same with root user/password and says ‘failed to connect to ldap://localhost:389’. Same thing works if i connect anonymously.

What could be the problem ?

Here’s my slapd.conf

ucdata-path ./ucdata
include ./schema/core.schema
pidfile ./run/slapd.pid
argsfile ./run/slapd.args
database bdb
suffix "dc=guessant,dc=org"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=guessant,dc=org"
rootpw secret
directory ./data

I am using Login DN as “cn=Manager,dc=guessant,dc=org” and password as “secret”
