Problem: When attempting to use the ldapi:// URI to interact with the OpenLDAP server using commands like ldapmodify or ldapsearch, an error is encountered: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1).
Process is running # ps -aux |grep ldap ldap 9 0.0 0.4 42232968 79472 ? Sl Jan23 0:10 /usr/libexec/slapd -u ldap -h ldap:/// ldapi:/// ldaps:/// -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -d 256
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
Verified the ldapi URI configuration. Inspected the OpenLDAP configuration using slapd.conf or cn=config. Examined ACLs and access control rules.
Additional Information:
OpenLDAP is running as a Docker container on RHEL 9 Basis OS Docker Compose configuration includes port mappings for LDAP (3269:389) and LDAPS (3268:636). The whole configuration was migrated from a working RHEL7 Server with Openladp 2.4.5. the new version in place is 2.5.13
Any additional insights or recommendations for resolving the ldapi connection issue would be greatly appreciated.
Additional to this, I would like to activate pagination, but I have not been able to find any configuration for it. Is this something that needs to be done on the server or client side?
