Debugging OpenLDAP client: Where are the log files?



Hi, OpenLDAP developers,

 

I’ve been able to successfully built OpenLDAP client libraries liblber and libldap for Window 64 bit OS.

 

I wrote a test program to connect to Microsoft AD (hosted on Win 2008 R2, a 64 bit OS) over SSL. 

 

I made sure the root certificate file is converted to X509 base 64 PEM format.  And the certificate file name is named using the hash value returned from “openssl” command.

 

I made sure I can telnet to the AD host at port 636 from my test machine (where I run my test program).  This is to make sure there’s not network connectivity problem between my client test machine and the LDAP server host.

 

Here’s snippet of my source code:

 

  int         debug_flag = -1; // debug all

  rc = ldap_set_option( ld, LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL, &debug_flag);

 

  rc = ldap_sasl_bind_s( ld, dn, LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE, &passwd, NULL, NULL, NULL);

  if (rc != LDAP_SUCCESS)

  {

    trace("%15s:   %s (%s: %d = %s)", "FAILED", "ldap_sasl_bind_s() failed!",

      "Return value is", rc, ldap_err2string(rc));

  }

 

However, my OpenLDAP client test program fails with the following error:

 

0011-12-10 16:08:59 [5296]:          FAILED:   ldap_sasl_bind_s() failed! (Return value is: -1 = Can't contact LDAP server)

 

My question is:

 

I need to troubleshoot this problem.  I will need to examine the OpenLDAP log files to find the root cause.  Where are the OpenLDAP log files located? 

 

I read that the log file location is configured in slapd.conf.  But where is slapd.conf file on Windows?  Considering I am not running OpenLDAP server on this test machine.

 

 

Any input or feedback will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks.
