Thank you for reporting this bug and making Ubuntu better. Did you create the /etc/ldap.secrets file using a text editor such as Vim or nano? If so the editor probably added a CR or LF to the end of the line. If there is such characters the ldap utilities won't recognize the string as a legit password.
Can you try creating /etc/ldap.secrets using: sudo sh -c "echo -n 'secret' > /etc/ldap.secrets" Replacing 'secret' with your correct password. Then retry your ldapsearch commands. Using echo with the -n will not add new line characters. -- ldapsearch -y option does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openldap in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
