Fedora directory users - Dec 2005 - ldapimport anonymous bind...

So.. I am trying to transfer my OpenLDAP schema and data into an FDS
host... and have gotten pretty frustrated.. The LDAPimport utility looks
very  promising, but it seems to only use anonymous binds, or at least
unable for some reason to bing w/ privileges, which is unsuccessful, not
for lack of trying.  Has anyone been able to get LDAPimport to bing w/
specific credentials?

It works for me.

LdapImport does an anonymous bind first, to check that the server is up,
before attempting a normal bind.

This looks bad.  Go check your server error log, or turn error logging
on if it''s not on already and check there.  It could be that the bind
is failing on a bad SSL certificate or something, and the LdapImport.log
file doesn''t give you enough information when the server just returns
"internal error".

Works here.  The cn= and password were all that was needed.
