Question

Connection to LDAP server failed.

Hi, when trying to authenticate, I get the above error. When I revert to LDAP without SSL, everything works fine. The CF log has this error:

07/08 17:38:59 Error [jrpp-0] - Connection to LDAP server failed. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: D:\program files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\dev.intranet\AITE_Test_System\login_process.cfm, line: 38

My loginprocess.cfm page includes this CFLDAP query. In my source, the username field is line 38:

 <cfldap action="query"
            port="636"
        secure="CFSSL_BASIC"
        server="WPRDDCP01"
        start="ou=AITE,ou=USERS,ou=PRD,dc=lds,dc=ldsenterprises,dc=com"
        name="auth"
        username="lds\#FORM.j_username#"
        password="#FORM.j_password#"
        attributes="cn, o, dn, ou">
I can login fine when not running over SSL.
Thanks for your help!

    Looking at Google, I see that this is a familiar problem.  We need more information about exactly how you have attempted to set up SSL, and on what kind of server, and particularly including how you set up your certificate.  Does SSL work correctly otherwise, in other settings with other tools?
    Looking over the various posts, it seems to me that the location of the various certificate files is very important.  It also intuitively seems to me that there ought to be other locations where more-extensive logging information will have been kept, e.g. the Windows Event Viewer or its appropriate counterpart.  Look for clues from any service process that was involved in the attempt... web, CF, LDAP...
