Binding to ADAM from LDP

[Guest]

I am having problems binding correctly to ADAM from LDP.exe. The bind
executes but I cannot see anything other than the root nodes of the tree,
cannot edit objects, etc. I can logon from ADIS Edit using the current logged
on user which is the same user I'm logging on as in LDP. There I can add

I have ADAM on the local machine, my box is Win XP Pro, machine name
MMAIER-2 on a workgroup MSHOME.

I logon in LDP using the following:

Connect: localhost, port 389, (connectionless and ssl unchecked)
Bind: user - windows user id, windows password, domain MSHOME (also tried
MMAIER-2)

This is the same windows user id selected as ADAM administrator during
installation.

I added the user (as foreign principal) to the Adminsitrators OU.

A connectionless connect is through UDP (cldap_open) and you can not
authenticate/bind a UDP LDAP connection. I.E. You are attaching as an anonymous
user and you don't have anonymous access open by default in AD/AM. You either
need to bind with a real ID with rights in AD/AM or open up your security to an
insane level.

I'm in a catch 22 - can't edit passwords, only logon as AD/AM user that does
not have a password (but member of Administrators group). So I guess I need
to open up security. It's only for testing purposes for now.

Are there any suggestions for a dsacls command?

Thanks for any help.

I don't understand, why can't you use a connection based (TCP) connection? You
should be able to specify a bind ID with a blank password (not that I recommend
you have a blank password on an admin ID).
