If you got a SASL error, chances are it used the ldap[add|modify] from OpenLDAP (which is generally what you'll get if you don't specifiy a full path), If you can find where it's calling it, add "-x" to the parameters, or point it at the ldap[add|modify] provided with 389. -- 389 users mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users
