Hi Jens,

Thanks a ton for the solution!!....It worked fine. But now i have a 
different problem alltogether !! :-(
The thing is I could add / modify users from the ZMI, but it seems that 
I have locked my self out of my own site !!!!....This is what i did ....

My "Access Control Lists" in the slapd.conf file reads this....

 access to filter="objectclass=cdObject"
       by dn="cn=Manager,dc=mysite,dc=com" write


...and the "ldbm database definitions" are...
  >> database        ldbm
  >> suffix          "dc=mysite,dc=com"
  >> suffix          "dc=zgroups-mysite,dc=com"
  >> rootdn          "cn=Manager,dc=mysite,dc=com"

Within the ZMI I have configured the Manager DN as follows...
  >> cn=Manager,dc=aon-resolution,dc=com and password the same.


I have users with the following specs....

 >>  Kris  rock  uid=krs,ou=People,dc=mysite,dc=com  
(objectClass=cdObject).  
I also have some users without that particular object class (ie. 
cdObject) in my user list.

Now... with all this I'am able to add / modify users but unable to 
authenticate into my site. Does this have something to do with the 
"access to filter="objectclass=cdObject" ??? ....I'm a bit lost ....need 
some light on this pleeeeeeaaaaseee.......!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance,

Kris :-)
