Hi Guys,

Background:
Running on Centos 6.4, doing a trial setup of openldap.

Using vm1 as server, host system as client, one ldap user setup, just for testing.
Followed this HOWTO (Server) http://www.server-world.info/en/note...S_6&p=ldap&f=1 & (Client) http://www.server-world.info/en/note...S_6&p=ldap&f=2

This allows me to login to the ldap server on the vm from my client (host).
However, it takes 20 seconds after putting in passwd, before the prompt returns.

I've tried googling, but couldn't find a soln, although there are many hits.
Maybe I just don't understand the terminology

Let me know what you need to see and I'll post it.
(NB: I don't usually work with ldap, so you'll need to be detailed/specific with any advice; thx)

Now that's interesting... I tried that web-page a little while ago, but it had no effect & I didn't want to prejudice any replies.
Funnily enough, the index advice seems to have had quite an effect this time

Didn't bother with altering nscd settings; I've only got one 'machine' at each end and one test user
OTOH, I did add it to the server end; it was only on the client. Doesn't seem to make it any quicker than the indexing already did, but no harm in having it I suppose.

Anyway, thx for the prompt to re-visit; funny how these things work out sometimes eh?

EDIT: basic (port 389) works.
Will open new thread for TLS issue
