The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi fred,

I am not an LDAP expert, so I can't help you with your LDAP server 
configuration. However, I can only recommend you to try to connecte to 
your server, using a light LDAP client and the same parameters as those 
defined in Sympa. This way, you will be able to separate what is wrong 
with the LDAP server. If nothing is wrong, then check carrefully that 
you give the same parameters to Sympa than those you gave to your light 
client.

If nothing works, please report back to the list, giving the full LDAP 
connexion parameters used.

The logs you provided just state that the connexion failed. Maybe by 
increasing the log level, you would have more clues on what's wrong.

Regards,

David
