[hobbit] LDAP Test

[James Wade]

I've tried this:

ldap://systemA:389/ou=my,o=test,st=tx,c=us ldaplogin=ldapuser:passwdd

Didn't work though. I got the ou, o,st,c from the ldap folks.

Yes, I want to do a real ldap lookup. The ldap folks have created
a test account for me. We had ldap hang today, so Hobbit showed
everything fine, but now one could authenticate.

Thanks for the help.

James

What exactly are you trying to do here?

The "ldap:systemA:389" doesn't make sense. If you want just to test if
the ldap port is open, then you should just use "ldap" - nothing more.

If you want to check if the ldap server is responding to queries, then
you must provide a full URL-style LDAP query - see the bb-hosts man-page
for details about how to do that.

Since you're messing the "ldaplogin", I assume you want to perform the
"real" LDAP lookup test.

BTW, "ldaplogin" is only needed if your LDAP server requires
authentication. Most LDAP servers allow anonymous connections for simple
lookups.
