Hi, I am following https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/samba-ldap.html and ldap works perfectly fine. I have issues with connecting to ldap from samba. I get [2009/10/27 12:37:28, 1] lib/smbldap.c:another_ldap_try(1153) Connection to LDAP server failed for the 9 try! [2009/10/27 12:37:29, 2] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_open_connection(786) smbldap_open_connection: connection opened [2009/10/27 12:37:29, 2] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_connect_system(982) failed to bind to server ldap://localhost/ with dn="cn=admin,dc=mt,dc=webaroo,dc=com" Error: Can't contact LDAP server (unknown) I have ldapserver running on the same server as samba server is running. when i run ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://localhost.
