LDAP

LDAP Overview

An overview of LDAP

Installation Problems

• LDAP initialization fails
  • Failure to resolve the LDAP server
  • Failure to connect to the LDAP server

LDAP and DNS

LDAP uses DNS to resolve the ldap host, even if it's localhost

To verify that you're able to resolve the ldap host:

host ldap-hostname

Make sure you understand DNS.

Failure to Connect

If resolution succeeds, the initialization may fail because the LDAP server failed to start
