Enabling LDAP Protocol Version 2 on the Openexchange Server

Support knowledgebase (rsimai_slox_ldapv2)
Applies to

Openexchange Server: Version 4

Symptom

Some clients fail to access the LDAP directory service, but no results or error messages are displayed.

Cause

Apart from possible configuration errors on the client side, a possible cause might be that the client is only able to communicate via the LDAP protocol 2. The Openexchange Server, however, exclusively uses the protocol version 3 as default (standard in Openldap2).

Solution

Edit the file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf and insert the following line
allow bind_v2
Then restart the LDAP server with
rcldap restart
After this, both protocols are enabled.
