Hi Alex,

I was wrong. It is not the lack of port that causes it to fail.

On the third line of the output below you can see the ldapsearch request wi= thout the port has tried to construct a uri by appending "ldap://" to anoth= er ldap uri.

$ ldapsearch -x -d 255 -h ldap://localhost ldap_create ldap_url_parse_ext(ldap://ldap:%2F%2Flocalhost) ldap_err2string Could not create LDAP session handle for URI=3Dldap://ldap: %2F%2Flocalhost (-9): Bad parameter to an ldap routine

If you also specify the port it does not try to append "ldap://" to the fro= nt of the hostname/uri. From an external point of view the behaviour is cor= rect in that the command fails but the internal behaviour of the code is no= t as intended.
