Hi all,


I’m running an LDAP test against an Oracle LDAP server from xymon using
this configuration:

ldap://oud1.example.com:1389/DC=example,DC=com "ldaplogin=cn=admin:password"

That test is failing with the error that it cannot contact the server.

I have the following line in my hosts:
0.0.0.0  foo.bar.com   # ldap://foo.bar.com:399/uid=someone,ou=people,o=bar.com?mail?base ldap://foo.bar.com:389/uid=someone,ou=people,o=bar.com?mail?base ldaps://foo.bar.com:636/uid=someone,ou=people,o=bar.com?mail?base
Broken up for easier reading:
0.0.0.0  foo.bar.com   #
ldap://foo.bar.com:399/uid=someone,ou=people,o=bar.com?mail?base ldap://foo.bar.com:389/uid=someone,ou=people,o=bar.com?mail?base ldaps://foo.bar.com:636/uid=someone,ou=people,o=bar.com?mail?base

My server is listening on ports 389 and 636. I have added the 399 test for diagnostics. The result is: 399 fails, 389, and 636 continue to work. In this instance, I'd say my ldap test is able to test against non-standard ports.

(Solaris 10 with Xymon 4.3.21)

Does yours behave any differently if:
A) you attempt an anonymous bind?
B) you wrap your entire "ldap...=com" portion in double-quotes?
C) you replace your bind attempt with a simple port check?
