LDAP Server: All authentication methods for TCP/IP port are disabled in Site document for

Hi

I am having trouble trying to use the LDAP server with Lotus Notes v 6.0

running on a Sun Solaris System (Ini file shows FaultRecovery_Build=Build V60_09252002)

I keep getting the following message on the Domino Server when I try to access the LDAP server from various Win 2000 systems (an LDAP browser and a Portal):-

o 06/24/2003 10:14:47 LDAP Server: All authentication methods for TCP/IP port are disabled in Site document for organization TST

The system is configured with a Server Document, Internet Site Document and Configurations Setting Document.

The server works fine for handling email and standard notes databases, both through the thick client and the Web but I am totally stuck with LDAP. I have tried various combinations of configuration parameters, starting with the ‘out of the box’ values.

The details are as follows

Server Document – Basics Tag

o Load Internet configurations from Server\Internet Sitest sites documents

o Both ‘Enabled’ and ‘Disabled’ tried. Disabled was the last thing I tried.

o Allow this directory to be used as a remote primary directory for other servers

o Both ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ tried

Server Document – Security Tag

o Allow anonymous Notes connections

o Was ‘No’, then switched to ‘Yes’.

o Run unrestricted Java/Javascript/COM

o Set to ‘*’ for compoze Notes java Portal interface

Server Document – Ports/Internet Ports/Directory Tag

o Enforce server access settings

o Set from ‘Yes’ to ‘No’

Server Document – Internet Protocols/LDAP

No changes BUT the text says that 

o “To specify Domain wide LDAP configuration and anonymous field level access, use the Server\Configuration Settings form”

o -à BUT the Server\Configuration settings form makes no mention of LDAP or anonymous access!!!

Internet Site Document Security Tag

o TCP Authentication\Anonymous

o Set for ‘Yes’

Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

… finally found an answer to this. One of my problems is that I was not restarting the full Lotus Notes server after each change - only the LDAP server. When I finally restarted Notes, the LDAP interface suddenly worked - much to my surprise.

I believe that the problem was solved by updating the “Load Internet configurations from Server\Internet Sites” flag in the Server Document (Basics) from Yes to No.

Hi,

We need to have the Internet Sites lookup activated, so your solution was not ok for us. However, simply adding an LDAP site document solved it for us.
