Hi All, I am trying to access the FDS using Java mgmt. console installed on Windows Server 2003. There was a similar case posted before, but I mine differs as I have not changed any hostname. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-directory-users/2008-February/msg0023 0.html Error Message: -------------------------------------------- ?Initialization Failure Cannot connect to the directory server ldap://fedorads-lin.fedorads.net:389 LDAP Error: failed to connect to server ldap://fedorads-lin.fedorads.net:389 Would you like to attempt to restart the Directory Server?? -------------------------------------------- System: Fedora 11 and FedoraDS 1.1.3, Selinux and Firewall disabled Winserver 2003 and FedoraConsole 20090403.msi. Also has DNS, DHCP, DC and AD roles. I have NAT enabled on this machine, so the firewall is disabled. Installation: I had everything default and the hostname is fedorads-lin(never changed). The mgmt. console works fine on Unix box. Console details: User: cn=Directory Manager, Pass:** , URL: http://192.178.1.12:9830 Test conducted: I am able to ping fedorads-lin via IP and DN(DNS is fine). Disabled Firewall and SElinux on FDS box. Checked Name resolution, fine. Suspected Problem: Previously when firewall was enabled, I got a different message like server is not running..... So I am sure it is able to connect to the FDS but just not initializing. Any ideas?? Thanks, Prashanth -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
