Re: Can't contact LDAP server: msg#00005

Subject: Re: Can't contact LDAP server
Mr. Philip Rhoades,
Been having the same problem.
It seems to be an authentication error.
In most of the on-line guides it is assumed to be encrypted.
SASL MD5 is what seems to be preferred.
But there is a problem with certification.
Searching for the same answer.
This authentication error occurs even when in trying to add data from
command line.
Will keep you posted when and if I come across a solution
