This is my problem.
We have LDAP available over SSL (port 636) on one of our Netware 6 servers. I have used the Active Directory Browser tool in the past to communicate and get the LDAP properties from our LDAP directory in the past.
I recently installed Visual Studio.NET to my workstation, and since that time I am unable to connect to the LDAP directory on the Novell server with the Active Directory Browser tool.
The tool still works on any workstation that does not have Visual Studio.NET on it, but it appears that any workstation with Visual Studio.NET on it prevents the Active Directory Browser tool from connecting via LDAP.
The Active Directory Browser tool does still work when connecting via NDS to the Novell Server, but not LDAP.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, or even a tip that may lead me in the right direction in figuring out why this no longer works?
Yes I can use some other tools to connect to the LDAP directory, but it does appear to effect more than just the Active Directory Browser.
Example of errors as follows.
When attempting to connect to the LDAP directory without SSL I get the following error:
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_DS_CONFIDENTIALITY_REQUIRED
This confirms it is able to get to the LDAP directory but shows that LDAP is currently requiring SSL.
So when I attempt to connect via SSL I get the following error:
ERROR_DS_SERVER_DOWN
Now the server is up, as I am able to connect with no problem from another machine without Visual Studio.NET
The Active Directory browser is available from the ADSI SDK free from Microsoft's website.
