If you are trying to connect from the outside from another PC ... and if
the firewall and ldap are installed on the same PC, that should work to
allow connection to port 389.
If you are trying to connect directly to port 389 from and internal IP,
that probably won't work. (you will need to do something to PREROUTING
chain to get the packets routed to the EXTIF)
BUT ... you shouldn't need to do either of those if you are also running
webmin or phpmyadmin also on that machine ... if you listen on the
internal IP at port 389 and not the external IP.
Does netstat -aptn show you listening on the internal / external / or
loopback ip on port 389 (or more than one of them).
