Re: ldap_bind: Can't Contact LDAP server(81)

Hi Adil:

Try to use the option -h host , where host is the LDAP server.
Hope this helps.

Hi All,
  I am new to this Ldap thing and I need to get it to work with Tomcat.
Well I down loaded the latest stable release and followed the instructions
as it says in the install Doc. Everything installed fine and when I ran the
test it seemed ok. Just a few Errors, but it said error ignored.  The output
of the make test was as follows:
------------------

Now when I do a Search or ldapadd it gives me ldap_bind: Can't Contact LDAP server (81) error.

Any one has any suggestions. And yes I did start the slapd server by using
the su root -c /usr/local/libexec/slapd command

Thanks in Advance
Adil
