Re: Trouble with Authenticating...

Continuing to troubleshoot...

I can connect properly with ldapsearch so as the previous poster
mentioned the problem is likely in my code.

I inserted a new line in my program to return the error message
associated with my failed bind operation, the new code now reads as
follows...

	if ((result = ldap_simple_bind_s(ld, "CN=Bob", "password")) !=
LDAP_SUCCESS ) 
	{
		printf("Unable to bind to server.\n");
		printf("LDAP Returned: %s\n", ldap_err2string(result));
		exit(3);
	}

when run generates...

% ./ldaptest
Unable to bind to server.
LDAP Returned: Can't contact LDAP server
%

When I ran with ldapsearch I did as follows...

% ./ldapsearch -D "CN=Bob" -W "CN=Bob"
Enter LDAP Password: password

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope sub
# filter: CN=Bob
# requesting: ALL
#

# Bob
dn: CN=Bob
cn: Bob
postaladdress: USA
homepostaladdress: USA
companyname: co

objectclass: dominoPerson
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: person
objectclass: top
mailsystem: 100
messagestorage: 1         

etc....

Anyone have further ideas?
Thanks again,
Ben.
