I remember Michael had said that to make successful SASL bindings, you must examine your DNS settings first, to make sure it can resolve hosname to ipaddress and vice versa correctly.

The error message

"ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)"

clearly indicates that the server could not be reached at all. There's a problem at network level or the server does not listen on the host:port used. Note that within the LDAP client lib really connecting to the server is deferred until the first LDAP operation function is called. This seems to be a simple bind in this case.

Ciao, Michael.
