Hello,

I am trying to get my ldap binding running, but some how it doen't work!

When I checked the port using nmap, I can see clearly that it is closed while the server listens to it!

client# nmap -p 389 ldap.domain.com

Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-01-29 23:09 EST

Interesting ports on ldap.domain.com (203.28.247.83):

PORT STATE SERVICE

389/tcp closed ldap

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.06 seconds

root@server:/etc/ldap# nmap -p 389 localhost

How can I fix this?

Thanks.
