Description Lindsay Haisley 2004-01-06 17:44:43 UTC

The doc page gives the proper line as:

OPTS="-h ldaps:// ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fopenldap%2fslapd.sock"

Using this results in "ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server"

The line with the correct punctuation is already in the file, commented out:

OPTS="-h 'ldaps:// ldap:// ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fopenldap%2fslapd.sock'"

Using this line results in a proper connection to the ldap server.  The use of the single quotes is required to bind the entire space-separated list to the -h option.

Thanks. I've added the quoting, but I left out the ldap:// entry. The main reason for this is that we don't want any queries happen in plain text over the network (especially not in this case where authentication is handled).
