Hi Xing,

After the ldaps configuration in my apache configuration file as specified in the link,

LDAPTrustedGlobalCert CA_BASE64 mycert.cer
LDAPVerifyServerCert Off

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath repopath
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repositories"
AuthBasicProvider file ldap
AuthLDAPURL "ldaps://myldap.com:3269/?userPrincipalName?sub?(&((objectCategory=person)(objectCategory=user)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))))"
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
AuthLDAPBindDN mydomain\user1
AuthLDAPBindPassword *******
AuthUserFile password file path
AuthzSVNAccessFile account file path
Require valid-user
</Location>

i am getting the below exception.

[LDAP: ldap_simple_bind_s() failed][Server Down]

Please let me know, why am i getting this error while accessing the LDAP (only for authentication) through apache?

Thanks,

ServerDown

can you resolve the hostname? tried the IP?

[lakshmi]

Hi James Blond,

I am able to resolve the host name.. even i tried with the IPAddress instead of hostname in the apache configurationf file. In this case too, it is not working for me. I am getting the same exception.

Cheers,
Lakshmi
