Re: ldap_tls call failed: Can't contact LDAP server



For your Trial 1, it looks like you are trying to start a TLS connection on port 636.  I am not sure how that works, as it may expect the old SSL  (someone help me here)

For your Trial 2 is a SASL error I think.    What happens if you add -x to your ldapsearch and make your connection simple auth versus SASL ?

Problem Definition:

 

I have following sets of files on a linux host where my server is running.
Again, I am trying ldapsearch command on same linux machine.

Started ldap server with:
1. /usr/sbin/slapd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -d 127 -h ldaps:/// &

 

2. netstat shows that server is listening on port 636
netstat -antp | grep slapd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:636              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      14512/slapd

 

When I executed follwing command on same server machine (linux host):
ldapsearch -ZZ "CERTS/cacert.pem" -h 192.168.6.146 -p 636 -b "dc=my-domain,dc=com" -d 127

 

It gave error logs as below:

TRIAL 2
Start server with start_ssl
1. /usr/sbin/slapd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -d 127 start_ssl &

 

Here netstat shows that server is listening on 389 and not 636

 

# netstat -antp | grep slapd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:389              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      14529/slapd

 

When executed following command on same linux host (where server is running)

 

2. #ldapsearch -Z "CERTS/cacert.pem" -h 192.168.6.146 -p 389 -b "dc=my-domain,dc=com" -d 5
It gave

ldap_int_sasl_bind: GSSAPI PLAIN LOGIN

Run your openldap server with debugging turned on (-d option) and
check the output.  Read the man slapd.conf for the different values of
the -d flag and then see if you see why your connection is failing.
Post those results here if you don't see the obvious root cause.
