Hi Christopher,

                   Thanks for your email.It seems that 

without TLS , the search works first but next when I initiate a TLS session, the ldap api says "SERVER DOWN".I must mention that the bandwidth is very low in that VPN tunnel and there is only one route.

Now I used tcpdump to check the packets on port 389 , it seems that there are a lot of packets being exchanged.My guess is that because of the low b/w even if one packet gets dropped because of router overflow, the SSL handshake will be terminated.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Sankhadip

Hi,

In a  VPN tunnel, using TLS, ldap_search works but the

ldap_bind fails with error :Can't contact LDAP server(-1).

Can any one help me? I am using the openldap sdk.

Thanks,

Sankhadip

You might try putting the LDAP server's name and IP address in the hosts file of the client.
