Domino 8.5 LDAP initialization error

Hello Forum,

after the update to Lotus Domino 32-bit version 8.5 (german language pack), the LDAP server doesn’t work any more.

If I enable the LDAP-Debugging, I do recieve the following errors:

25.01.2009 15:56:53,67 [00E4:0005-010C] LDAP> CNotesException thrown at ldapinit.cpp:325 - 1028

Could anybody please help shed some light on this?

In case this helps anybody, we fixed this recurrent error message by correcting an obsolete domain name in the notes.ini. Maybe you have recently consolidated or renamed your domains and the notes.ini on your server is still pointing to the old one. Check that the line “Domain=xxxx” in the notes.ini is correct. If not, correct it and restart the LDAP task.

Hi Nico,

Looks like there’s some problem retrieving the DNS name from the server.

Does this string occur as any machine name/address in your domain? PN-SYSTEME
