Things like this are often related to the account that the CA is running with. If it's impersonation=no (and if that's the syntax) it's running with the system account and accessing localhost might count as "network access" that the system account usually cannot do. It works when you run ldpa.exe because presumably you run it with your user account.

I tried 2 approaches, but both failed with error code 0x51 " Cannot contact the LDAP server ". 1. ldap_open((PWCHR)"localhost", 389) 2. ldap_init( (PWCHR)"127.0.01", 389 ), then ldap_connect(...) I also tested with ldp.exe on the same machine, it could connect to LDAP server with localhost. Am I doing anything wrong? Did anybody have similar experience? Thanks! -ofox ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
