无法从Windows Server 2008 VM建立与LDAP的SSL连接

Question

I'm using LDAP admin to connect to an LDAP protected using SSL from a windows server 2008 VM but it kept saying the server is down. Pinging from the VM to the machine shows that it is up and when I run LDAP admin on my host machine with a windows 7 OS it works fine, any ideas what settings I should change on the server 2008 VM?

Answer 1

I had a similar issue and was able it get through to our LDAP by changing my VM's network setting. I was running bridged, when switched to NAT (effectively sharing my host computer's IP) I was then able to connect.

Make sure that your LDAP is not protected by a firewall or configured to disallow your VMs IP or domain for connections. If you are authorizing to the LDAP server, recheck your credentials.
