Unhappy LDAP Server Bind Failed


Hello Friends,
I have fedora 10 installed on 2 machines. I have installed open LDAP server 2.4.26 on one machine and pam_ldap-186 on another

machine.

I have configured the server and added some entries to it. when I do ldapsearch it shows the entries. But when I send LDAP request

from my client machine (pam_ldap) the request packet is reaching the server machine but not "slapd" server process.

The configurations done are as follows.

/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf

include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema

pidfile /usr/local/var/run/slapd.pid
argsfile /usr/local/var/run/slapd.args

allow bind_v2
access to * by * read

database bdb
suffix "dc=samsung,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"

rootpw 123qwe
directory /usr/local/var/openldap-data
index uid eq
index cn,gn,sn,ou,o,mail eq,sub
index objectClass eq


/etc/ldap.conf

host 10.1.1.5
base dc=example,dc=com
bind_policy hard



The error which i am getting is as below.

Aug 26 09:40:27 localhost sshd[9512]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server
Aug 26 09:40:27 localhost sshd[9512]: pam_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server...
Aug 26 09:40:27 localhost sshd[9512]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server



When I checked the default port binding with netstat on the server machine the result is as below.

[root@localhost slapd]# netstat -tuan | grep 389
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:389 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 :::389 :::* LISTEN
[root@localhost slapd]#

The slapd is running on 0.0.0.0 IP. is this a problem? why it is not accepting packets sent on eth0 (10.1.1.5) ??


Please let me know how to fix this problem.

Thanks and Regards,
Vijay S.

Can you telnet to that port? Jumping straight to Pam is far too quick. You should be doing ldapsearch commands first. I would guess at an iptables rule personally.

Yes Chris, you are right.
Thanks for your reply.

It was problem with IP tables, I cleared the ip tables using "iptables -F" and now the packets are reaching my slapd.

Thank you.
Vijay.
