OpenLDAP Troubleshooting

OpenLDAP will not start

If OpenLDAP is not starting, first verify that the data/config directories and files are owned by ldap:ldap (or appropriate user that the ldap daemon runs under). 

chown -R ldap:ldap /var/lib/openldap-data
chown -R ldap:ldap /etc/openldap

Authentication Credentials Incorrect

A very common error is number 49, which indicates that the incorrect credentials were sent to the server: 

Apr 19 07:56:46 <host> slapd[6210]: conn=16 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=49 text=

Consumer Update Error

Another error that I see often occurs when an LDAP consumer is sent an update which is referred to the provider (OL2.3.34): 

Apr 19 07:57:55 <host> slapd[20474]: conn=35 op=6 RESULT tag=103 err=10 text=

The provider should then receive the update and act upon it.
