RE: contact LDAP server error

[Paul Craig]

Title: Message

Your problem is not in the ldif but in the fact you probally cant contact your ldap server =)

You have not even begun to feed the ldif, or even auth. Hasta be a network issue.

 

do this

nslookup ldap.operations.com (see if the name resolves internally, if not, use ip)

check to see if the ldap server is running and is bound to the external ip

 

Check any filters or network acl's that might be denying access.

 

Its a network issue, nothing to do with ldap from what i can see.

I also think you can crank up the debug level to get more info out of it, might help.
