[Failing LDAP operation]: Cannot contact LDAP server

 

The most common causes of this error include a request before the server is ready or an invalid port number.

The most common causes of this error include the following:

• An LDAP client makes a request before the LDAP server on the specified system is up and in select wait status.

• The user specifies a port number that is not valid. For example, the server is listening on port 386, but the client request attempts to use port 387.

To get information about the error, look at the QDIRSRV job log. If the Directory Server started successfully, the message Directory Server started successfully will be in the QDIRSRV job log.
