how to LDAP user authentication working for Ubuntu clients


I'm trying to utilize my company's IT orginazation's LDAP service (running on some sort of windows) for authenticating users on an Ubuntu box.

Another group has done something similar for CENTOS; I've used their ldap.conf as a reference as well as https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverg...ap-server.html (LDAP Authentication section)

I can't get it to work. When I try to connect as my corporate user I see this in auth.log:
Code:
Jan 14 14:32:24 Algalon sshd[7062]: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as cn=ldapquery2,cn=Users,dc=<companyname>,dc=com - Can't contact LDAP server
Jan 14 14:32:24 Algalon sshd[7062]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldaps:///10.1.1.200: Can't contact LDAP server
Jan 14 14:32:24 Algalon sshd[7062]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server...
Jan 14 14:32:24 Algalon sshd[7062]: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as cn=ldapquery2,cn=Users,dc=<companyname>,dc=com - Can't contact LDAP server

Jan 14 14:32:24 Algalon sshd[7062]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 1 seconds)...
Jan 14 14:32:25 Algalon sshd[7062]: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP server as cn=ldapquery2,cn=Users,dc=<companyname>,dc=com - Can't contact LDAP server
Jan 14 14:32:25 Algalon sshd[7062]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldaps:///10.1.1.200: Can't contact LDAP server
Jan 14 14:32:25 Algalon sshd[7062]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable
Any hints? I'm not sure what to do.

That error just says that it can't reach port 636 on that server. check your routing and ldap server details. do you want SSL? Does it work without encryption e.g. ldap:// ?
