Helmut, try connecting with debugging on and see what is happening. Also, try using ldapsearch in verbose mode. It might give you good information about the connection as well. Don

I'm using it to connect to an MS Active Directory. Everything was fine, also connecting via LDAPS. Now I switched the 2 OpenBSD computers to FreeBSD and I'm not able to connect via LDAPS anymore. LDAP is fine. The code is: our $scheme = "ldap"; our $dnsDomain = "domain.tld"; $_conn = Net::LDAP->new($dnsDomain, scheme=>$scheme) or die "Couldn't connect to '$scheme://$dnsDomain' for domain '$_dnsDomain' using searchbase '$_searchbase'. $!!\n"; $_conn->bind($ldapBindUser, password=>$ldapBindPass) or die "Couldn't bind to '$scheme://$dnsDomain' for domain '$_dnsDomain' using searchbase '$_searchbase'. $!!\n"; If I switch to our $scheme = "ldaps"; I get the error: Couldn't connect to 'ldaps://domain.tld' for domain '' using searchbase 'CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=tld'. Invalid argument! According to tcpdump there are no pakets transmitted at TCP 636. But again, the 3 other FreeBSD machines do fine using LDAPS. What did I miss? Thanks, Helmut
