I was trying to setup LDAP server on CentOS 5 under VMware for testing integration with PHP, Java and Samba. Setting up LDAP server is not difficult but it takes time. I usually create LDIF and then run slapadd to initialize LDAP data and then import data converted from system account. Anyway, this attempt is just for testing so I don't want to make it too serious. All I need is just a record which contains userPassword, lmPassword and ntPassword. So I tried to create this record manually. The LDAP browser I chose was phpLDAPadmin. That was just the beginning.
At first glance, phpLDAPadmin looks very promising. The latest version, 1.1.0.3, was released on December 31, 2007! I downloaded and installed on CentOS 5 without success. All I got was error messages regarding undefined APPCONFIG. I tried to debug what happen and eventually I gave up and downgraded to 1.1.0.1. It works! phpLDAPadmin 1.1.0.1 is working fine for me.
Newer is not always better...
