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

21 Oct 2010


      Hi.
I'm trying to get openldap up and running.
I am following this howot:
http://techpubs.spinlocksolutions.com/dklar/ldap.html
I did a previous atempt yesterday, where i tried to do a tls setup.
Today i have done a
dpkg-reconfigure slapd
so, everything should be back to start.
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.5     server.htnett server krb1.htnett krb1 ldap1.htnett ldap1
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
/etc/ldap/ldap.conf
#
# LDAP Defaults
#
# See ldap.conf(5) for details
# This file should be world readable but not world writable.
BASE    dc=htnett
URI     ldap://192.168.1.5/
#SIZELIMIT      12
#TIMELIMIT      15
#DEREF          never
/etc/ldap/slapd.conf er vedlagt.
This is installed on a fully updated Debian 5.0.6 distro.
slapcat gives a nice readout but:
ldapsearch -x  stats this:
ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
This means no other computer will be able to connect through net.
Portmap is running, but hosts.allow and hosts.deny is emty. hostname is
server.
Anyone got a clue to whats wrong?
