Eric,
Thanks for that, works a treat.
You can use port 389 with ssl, I can't remeber why I do it like that now, but there is a good reason!
Thanks again,
Neil.

Hi Neil,
We are using 2 ldap server (with a fail over configuration). On our client side we added those parameters to /etc/ldap.conf :
host ldap1 ldap2 port 389
You are using an URI with a 389 port but with ssl (ldaps://), are you sure that you does not want something like :
ssl: uri ldaps://ldap2.master.co.uk:636 ldaps://ldap1.slave.co.uk:636
no ssl: uri ldap://ldap2.master.co.uk:389 ldap://ldap1.slave.co.uk:389
Hope that helps,
-Eric

After this weekends Kernel freeze on my LDAP server I decided I should make use of the slave automatically if this ever happened again. One solution I found was to list the servers in the URI in the /etc/ldap.conf file :
uri ldaps://ldap2.master.co.uk:389 ldaps://ldap1.slave.co.uk:389
But this does not work, it just returns "su: user fbloggs does not exist"
Currently my ldap.conf file uses the host parameter to specify the host name of the ldap server, placing two host parameters in the same file does not work. Does anyone know how I can specify two ldap hosts on the client in case my master ldap server feels unwell again?
Current /etc/ldap.conf file :
#uri ldaps://ldap2.master.co.uk:389 ldaps://ldap1.slave.co.uk:389 base dc=master,dc=co,dc=uk rootbinddn cn=auser,ou=DSA,dc=master,dc=co,dc=uk #scope one #pam_filter objectclass=posixaccount #pam_login_attribute uid #pam_member_attribute gid #pam_template_login_attribute uid pam_password crypt #nss_base_passwd ou=People,dc=master,dc=co,dc=uk?one #nss_base_shadow ou=People,dc=master,dc=co,dc=uk?one #nss_base_group ou=Group,dc=master,dc=co,dc=uk?one #nss_base_hosts ou=Hosts,dc=master,dc=co,dc=uk?one TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/ssl/cacert.pem host ldap2.master.co.uk ssl start_tls
Thanks,
