RE: LDAP connections to the proper server, and unknown error??

[AGlauser@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Alan,

You mentioned earlier that when calling the API you were specifying a port 
for the LDAP server, do you need to do so on your ldapsearch command as 
well?

If not, then based on that error it seems to me that it may be a 
networking issue.  Can you ping the LDAP server from the iSeries?  What 
about telnetting to the port the LDAP admins gave you?  Is it possible 
that there is a firewall or routing problem getting in the way?

If none of those things turn anything up, you may want to check the 
version of AD.  From my understanding, some of the older implementations 
of LDAP were not very strong in their compliance with LDAP standards - I 
don't know any details, just that there has been discussion of problems 
with AD's LDAP implementation on my Linux User's Group mailing list.  Once 
again, it is my understanding that this is only a problem with earlier 
versions of AD.

Hope this helps,
Adam
