(TLS negotiation failure) when connecting to ldaps://fqdn:636 server

[peppelinux]

Using ldap-merger.tac I cannot connect to ldaps port 636. No problem to port 389 with or without start TLS. Tracelog here:

	ldaptor.protocols.ldap.ldaperrors.LDAPOther: other: Cannot connect to server.[Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): <class 'twisted.internet.error.ConnectionDone'>: Connection was closed cleanly.

These server are usable with ldapsearch and/or python ldap3. Any hints?

Hello,

I know this is a year old but wondering if you managed to find a solution as I seem to be hitting a similar problem...

I am able to use the proxy to connect to ldap servers that do not require TLS (on 389) however connecting to ldaps port 636 through the proxy returns a connection error.

Thanks in advance.

Figure it out... In the "proxiedEndpointStr" you need to set the protocol to "ssl":

proxiedEndpointStr = 'ssl:host=ldaps.corp.ca:port=636

Great to hear that, I went further, developing pymultildap here: https://github.com/peppelinux/pyMultiLDAP
