Accepted Answer

Try doing this:

```
slappasswd -h {MD5}
```

Enter the requested password accordingly. Take the output/result and place it into the file:

```
nano config.ldif
```

This file should looks like:

```
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify

dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcRootDN
olcRootDN: cn=admin,cn=config

dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcRootPW
olcRootPW: {MD5}inform password

dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config
changetype: modify
delete: olcAccess
```

then make

```
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f config.ldif
```

To manipulate openldap, then use the command:

```
ldapadd -x -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:// -D cn=admin,cn=config -W -f file
```

Now it should work.
