Matt,

Thank you for the troubleshooting help. I checked our private repository and noticed that it had rebooted and the tomcat server did not restart when it rebooted. When I brought our repository back up, I can now successfully authenticate. I didn't realize the repository had to be up in order for me to authenticate against the LDAP server. I guess the configuration files in Kepler show where the repository is located and the configuration files in the repository specify the LDAP server location.

This error occurs when Kepler is unable to contact the LDAP server that provides authentication for the Kepler repository. It sounds as if you have a personal repository installed? If so, then it probably means that either your LDAP server is not working -- either its been shut down, or its overloaded, or there is a firewall blocking access. You can test the accessibility of the LDAP server by using the 'ldapsearch' command line tool. If you didn't use your own LDAP and instead are relying on ours at ldap.ecoinformatics.org <http://ldap.ecoinformatics.org>, then the problem is likely a firewall issue, as that server seems to be running fine. If you send more details about the location/versions of your repository and ldap servers, we may be able to help more with troubleshooting.

    I am getting an error when I try to upload a workflow to my

     I noticed uploading to my repository became very slow yesterday
    evening and about 2AM EST, I became unable to connect.  I have
    been unable to connect since.  The error message is below.  I
    appreciate any help you can offer.
