  Connectionstring for OpenLDAP not working

  Feb 22, 2013 07:54 PM|LINK

  I'm beginning to work with OpenLDAP, and created a basic ASP.NET (VB) page to try & open a connection.

  "The LDAP server is unavailable" is always the response.

  Here's my code (IP address and other items changed obviously):

  Imports System.DirectoryServices.Protocols
  Imports System.Net
  
  Public Class WebForm1
      Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
  
      Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
  
      End Sub
  
      Protected Sub ASPxButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ASPxButton1.Click
  
          Using ldap As New LdapConnection("LDAP://999.99.99.99/")
              Try
                  ldap.SessionOptions.SecureSocketLayer = False
                  ldap.AuthType = AuthType.Basic
                  ldap.Bind(New NetworkCredential("cn=admin,dc=group,dc=net", "pwd"))
  
                  ASPxLabel1.Text = "Connected to OpenLDAP"
  
              Catch lex As LdapException
                  ASPxLabel1.Text = String.Format("LDAP Error: {0} - ", lex.Message, lex.ServerErrorMessage)
  
              Catch ex As Exception
                  ASPxLabel1.Text = ex.Message
              End Try
          End Using
      End Sub
  
  End Class

  Additional info:

  • The LDAP server logs don't show me even hitting it
  • We've tried with just the IP address in the connection string, omitting "LDAP://"

  NM, there was a misconfiguration on IPTables that was blocking me.
