Are you able to connect to openldap using other clients, like the openldap CLI or similar? Just to ensure the issue is not related to the web application.

Not the original poster, but having the same issue.

I'm using the Apache Directory Studio client, and cant auth with the admin account defined in the environment variables, but when i connect as anon, i can see no admin user anywhere in the tree

Tree from Apache Directory Studio

Hi,

Could you launch the container with BITNAMI_DEBUG=true and show the logs? Maybe there is an issue with the initialization.

[andrew-stclair]

Sure,

Hi @andrew-stclair,

Thanks for your patience.

I'm sorry, but I was unable to replicate the reported error.

Based on the information provided, the issue may be related to a configuration issue with the database. Please provide me with more details on how you are connecting the services. This information can help me to better understand the issue and reproduce it.

Can you please show me the output of the following command to check if the administrator has been successfully created and log in?

ldapwhoami -vvv -x -H ldap://localhost:1389 -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" -w adminpassword

[andrew-stclair]

Certainly

$ ldapwhoami -vvv -x -H ldap://localhost:1389 -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" -w adminpassword
ldap_initialize( ldap://localhost:1389/??base )
dn:cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
Result: Success (0)

I don't know what's different. I'll review my configuration in Apache Directory Studio
