Re: [Samba] Mysterious new problem: nss_ldap: could not soft reconnect to LDAP server
I didn't try that. but if it happens again I shall. I knew the LDAP servers were working, but that the Samba server (via nss) wasn't talking to it. What I ended up doing, was turned off nss' use of TLS. That fixed it. In RHEL, the command is authconfig. Why it suddenly stopped talking to each other, I still don't know. Obviously I need to come in during non-office hours and config and test and retest to get TLS working at both ends again.

[Samba] Mysterious new problem: nss_ldap: could not soft reconnect to LDAP server
Suddenly as of this morning, none of my users can authenticate to samba because nss_ldap is producing cryptic errors. Nothing has changed on either the LDAP server or the Samba server. Looks like this in /var/log/messages: Aug 11 11:19:29 edgar smbd[8394]: nss_ldap: could not soft reconnect to LDAP server - Server is unavailable Yet, the LDAP server IS available, and happily chirping away serving as an LDAP server for several other services. Only Samba seems to be having the trouble. Anyone else encounter this? I believe the library staff is headed to my office at just this moment with pitchforks and torches. Please help.
