Re: Connection to another LDAP server

["Corisen" <csyap@starnet.gov.sg>]

apologies for my typing mistake.
i've geniunely executed: ldapsearch -v -P 2 -x -b "dc=server1211,dc=com" -h
"ldap.server1211.com" "cn=*"

ive also tried with:
-h ldap.server1211.com
"-h ldap.server1211.com"

but the error message is still:
ldap_init( ldap.starnet.gov.sg, 0 )
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server

where did i go wrong?
