Hi,

I did a clean install of ITDS 5.2 on a new AIX 5.2 ML3 server.
smitty installation of the ldap.server filesets, db2, etc was ok.
The next steps include setting the Administrator DN and configuring the
database.

When using ldapxcfg I get "Valid DN expected" error message when
setting the cn=root or cn=admin from the gui

Also from the commandline ldapcfg gives a "failed to set administrator
password" like message, as well as trying it with mksecldap gives
similar messages

Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks,

Gert

The problem was solved by
changing the value of the LANG variable in the root shell.
Old value was LANG=En_US, new value LANG=en_US.
After that, there was no problem changing the admin password
