Can only ldapsearch localhost but NOT the actual server name

[Kelly Choo <chook@math.uvic.ca>]

Hi

I'm running openldap-2.3.35 on HPUX 11.11
and I can ldapsearch localhost

ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost/ -b dc=math,dc=uvic,dc=ca -x

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=math,dc=uvic,dc=ca> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# math.uvic.ca
dn: dc=math,dc=uvic,dc=ca
dc: math
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: Mathematics and Statistics

but not when I use the actual server name chief.math.uvic.ca

ldapsearch -H ldap://chief.math.uvic.ca/ -b dc=math,dc=uvic,dc=ca -x

I get
ldap_result: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

The same happens if I use the IP address instead of chief.math.uvic.ca

Here is the debug output:
ldapsearch -H ldap://chief.math.uvic.ca/ -b dc=math,dc=uvic,dc=ca -x -d -1

I'm not sure what it means and I tried this with the firewall disabled as
well. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
