Can't contact LDAP server

[ShaneJ]

Hi,

I have Scalix 11.2.0 installed on Fedora 7. I am having a lot of success and I am happy with how easy the installation and set up has been. I am however having a small problem.

I have searched the following problem and read the FAQ's but I still cannot resolve the issue.

In my /var/log/maillog ai am seeing a lot of the following:

Code: Select all

Jul 26 20:58:28 mail ldapmapper[1781]: cannot send search request to instance mail: Can't contact LDAP server
Jul 26 20:58:28 mail sendmail[2680]: l6Q8US50003075: SYSERR(root): Error getting LDAP results in map ldapsx: Unknown error 325

Some of the posts I have found with the same problem suggest editing /etc/sysconfig/ldapmapper
I edited mine from:

Code: Select all

#
# Scalix ldapmapper(8) options
#
LDAPMAPPER_OPTIONS=""

to

Code: Select all

#
# Scalix ldapmapper(8) options
#
LDAPMAPPER_OPTIONS="-L ldap://localhost:3890"

This FAQ suggests to check if ldapmapper is running and check that it is configured to start at boot time:

Code: Select all

[root@mail ~]# /etc/init.d/ldapmapper status
ldapmapper (pid 1781) is running...
[root@mail ~]# chkconfig --list ldapmapper
ldapmapper      0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

It also says to check if the LDAP service is running:

Code: Select all

[root@mail ~]# omstat -a | grep LDAP
LDAP Daemon                   Started        19:48:37

I'm not sure where to go from here. Any tips or pointer would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ok, Stupid me didn't check what the default port actually is and assumed it was 3890.

I have changed it to 389 and things appear to be working.

Thanks for all the help
