We're having problems with a ldaps connection to two windows domain controllers. An ldapsearch on the cli works every time, the radiator connection only sometimes.
I've upgraded the radiator servers from 4.8 to 4.10 with current patches in hope of a fix but it still shows the same behaviour: Sometimes it works: Thu Oct 18 12:41:42 2012: INFO: Connecting to 10.1.2.1 10.1.2.2:636 Thu Oct 18 12:41:42 2012: INFO: Attempting to bind to LDAP server 10.1.2.1 10.1.2.2:636 Sometimes it doesn't: Thu Oct 18 13:38:43 2012: INFO: Connecting to 10.1.2.1 10.1.2.2:636 Thu Oct 18 13:38:49 2012: ERR: Could not open LDAP connection to 10.1.2.1 10.1.2.2:636. Backing off for 5 seconds. BTW the debug output is really puzzling when you configure more than one server/ip-address and should be changed to only show the server/ip that's used to try the connection! That's our config: <AuthBy LDAP2> # Save time by never looking for a default NoDefault Host 10.1.2.1 10.1.2.2 Port 636 Version 3 # request timeout in seconds Timeout 3 # don't try to reach the ldap for this amount of seconds after failure FailureBackoffTime 5 # persistent connection doesn't work with M$ AD # HoldServerConnection UnbindAfterServerChecksPassword ## Enable SSL UseSSL ## Enable TLS # UseTLS ## Name of the client certificate file: SSLCAClientCert %D/certificates/radius.fqdn.pem ## Name of the file containing the client private key SSLCAClientKey %D/certificates/radius.fqdn.key SSLCAFile %D/certificates/ad.pem ## Require ldap server certificate #SSLVerify require # LDAP access AuthDN CN=foo,OU=bar,DC=fqdn,DC=at AuthPassword foo # Start looking here BaseDN OU=bar,DC=fqdn,DC=at # base, single, subtree Scope subtree UsernameAttr samaccountname # don't check the password, just for phone number lookup PasswordAttr # store the users mobile phone number in the Callback-Number radius attribute AuthAttrDef mobile,Callback-Number,request </AuthBy> -- Best regards, Alexander Hartmaier *"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"* T-Systems Austria GesmbH Rennweg 97-99, 1030 Wien Handelsgericht Wien, FN 79340b *"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"* Notice: This e-mail contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
