Hello OpenLDAPs,

Any LDAP search request with '-H ldap://<IP_LDAP_server>/' option returns 'Can't contact LDAP server (-1)' (see below).

When the '-H ...' option is left out or when '-H ldap:///' is used, the expected result is returned (see below).

The 'ldapsearch -x -H ldap://<IP_LDAP_server>/ ...' behaves the same from the server as from a client on the same LAN.

Thanks for helping me to get rid of this problem.

Thierry
