Hi All, I am at my wits end. I have a LDAP server setup on a machine (the names are changed to protect the innocent) example.mydomain.com running CentOS 5.4 and LDAP version 2.3.43-3. If I issue a ldapsearch command while logged onto the LDAP server host I get a valid response back. For example: > ldapsearch -x -LLL -H ldaps://example.mydomain.com:636 "(uid=joker)" \ > sn uid dn: uid=joker,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com uid: joker sn: Nicholson Everything works as expected. However if I try the same command from a remote machine remote.mydomain.com the command just hangs. I can not find a log entry anywhere that indicates something is wrong. I have checked the obvious things I can check. For example I know that port 636 is open: > /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status | grep 636 110 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 208.139.195.124 state NEW,ESTABLISHED tcp dpt:636 111 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 208.139.195.124 state NEW,ESTABLISHED udp dpt:636 I have enabled access via /etc/hosts.allow: > cat /etc/hosts.allow | grep slapd slapd: ALL I can see the server running and listening on port 636: > netstat -l | grep ldaps tcp 0 0 *:ldaps *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:ldaps *:* LISTEN > ps auxww | grep slapd ldap 21865 0.0 0.2 467976 5860 ? Ssl 19:54 0:02 /usr/sbin/slapd -h ldap:/// ldaps:/// -u ldap I am missing something very obvious. Can anyone offer any clues? Thanks. -- Paul (ganci at nurdog.com)
