Hi, Actually I found it like that in pam_ldap.conf without any modification from my side and changed as described coz I had the same error beforeBut looks didn't work any way! # Another way to specify your LDAP server is to provide anuri ldapi:///ldap.domain.com# Unix Domain Sockets to connect to a local LDAP Server.#uri ldap://127.0.0.1/#uri ldaps://127.0.0.1/#uri ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fldapi_sock/ logs (auth.log):Jan 30 19:13:18 mail imaplogin: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldapi:///ldap.domain.com: Can't contact LDAP serverJan 30 19:13:18 mail imaplogin: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable What do you think? Is this the problem ?I followed pretty much the indicated article there' http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/runningslapd.html', so I assume no real problem in the configuration for this point!

Hello,

I am trying to integrate Kerberos to my Openldap server, and I am following pretty much the instructions from there 'http://www.rjsystems.nl/en/2100-d6-kerberos-openldap-client.php' But still can't get it work to connect the client server to the LDAP one after the integration! I can see this error in my logs: Jan 30 17:27:17 mail nscd: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldapi://ldap.domain.com/: Can't contact LDAP server Jan 30 17:27:17 mail nscd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 1 seconds)...

Using ldapi:// is probably incorrect. You're using the wrong protocol scheme, and/or you're not using it correctly.

http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/runningslapd.html lists the different protocol schemes and how to use them.
