Bug Description
https:/
At the "Populating LDAP" stage I was getting 'credentials (49)' errors.
All previous activities seemed to work just fine, but not that.
I eventually found that it worked if I first did:
sudo su openldap
I'm not sure whether I just found a way around another problem, or whether this was an expected action before ldap administration.
It took me a while to find that because until then all seemed fine. It asked for passwords as expected, ans seemed to do actions as expected.

To post a comment you must log in.
Thanks for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Actually the ldapadd command should have a -b dc=example,dc=com (or the basedn of your directory). I must have set the BASE option in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf before using that command.
Using the -b should allow you to not have to sudo su openldap, can you give it a try to double check and comment?
Thanks again.
