ldap, sasl problem during boot_strap

[Mathieu Blondel]

Hi, 

I'm new to topics such as cyrus-imap,sasl and ldap. I'm getting more and 
more comfortable with ldap but cyrus-imap and sasl remain obscure to me. To 
the kolab developpers' mind, are the kolab-server admins supposed to know 
all those technologies ? 

But here is my problem.
I'm running Mandrake 10.0 Official and have setup kolab-server-1.0-0.23.100 
thanks to urpmi (I didn't use the openpkg method). 

At the end of the rpm install, I'm invited to run this command
/usr/sbin/kolab_bootstrap -b which causes problems : 

The problem comes from ldap. Here is an extract of what is displayed by this 
command (I have removed what seems to be ok) : 

 ---
no dc=lune,dc=mydomain,dc=com object found, creating one
failed to write basedn entry : Unknown error at 
/usr/sbin/kolab_bootstrap.real line 170, <DATA> line 283.

lune.mydomain.com is in my /etc/hosts file. 

When executing /etc/init.d/kolab-server start, all services start correctly 
except I have the following error : Can't call method "attributes" on an 
undefined value at /usr/sbin/kolab line 353, <DATA> line 283. 

The admin web interface has two problems :
1) Warning: main(session_vars.php): failed to open stream: No such file or 
directory in /var/www/html/kolab/admin/include/headfoot.php on line 9 (not 
related to the ldap problem but the file doesn't exist, I commented the line 
now)
2) Warning: ldap_bind(): Unable to bind to server: Can't contact LDAP server 
in /var/www/html/kolab/admin/include/ldap_utils.php on line 90
could not bind anonymously 

I think the problem may be caused by sasl. Indeed, 

this does not work : 

[root at lune urpmi]# ldapsearch -b "dc=lune,dc=ffworld,dc=com" 
"(objectclass=*)"
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such attribute (16) 

but this does :
[root at lune urpmi]# ldapsearch -b "dc=lune,dc=ffworld,dc=com" 
"(objectclass=*)"
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: No such attribute (16)
[root at lune urpmi]# ldapsearch -b "dc=lune,dc=ffworld,dc=com" 
"(objectclass=*)" -x
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=lune,dc=ffworld,dc=com> with scope sub
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
# 

# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object 

# numResponses: 1 

This command is supposed to show me all the objects in the directory. The -x 
parameter means sasl is not used for auth. 

Also : there is no .dbb file in my /var/lib/ldap directory (the one defined 
in the "directory" option of slapd.conf). 

If the problem is really due to sasl, I don't know how to fix it. And then 
any help woulb be really enjoyed! 

Any other clue is also ok of course. 

Thank you very much for your help. I hope I'm clear enough and not too 
verbose. I'm really impatient to have kolab-server working :) Features list 
is really attractive.
