LDAP logins failing

LDAP authentication of all my Casper Suite applications failed again. I went into the JSS Settings and did a test lookup on LDAP. It failed as well and presented me with the following error:

Error performing LDAP Lookup: javax.naming.CommunicationException: (MY AD SERVER IS LISTED HERE):389 [Root exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out]

This is now the second time this has occurred this week so its been bumped up a priority or two on the list. We can still get in using Admin credentials but this obviously takes out all of our support staff, which is not a good scenario.

Any ideas or, Mr. Nichols, did you gleam anything from your support call on or before Jan7th?

Hi Tim-

I haven’t gotten anything from Jamf. They had me turn on Change Management so if it happens again, it will be logged better on the server. The difference from your situation and mine is that the test LDAP lookup worked in my case.

I had the same problem. JAMF has me change the Authentication Type to
'simple' and add in the directory admin username and password. This fixed
it for us.

Thank you for the update and the distinction between our issues Mr. Nichols. As an added update of my own, it appears the JSS server has sorted itself out between Saturday and today so all is well again. I will look to give more information when possible.

Mr. Rellinger,
I do have the LDAP authentication type set to simple and have a diradmin (DOMAINdir_admin_user), my timeouts are 15" and 60" respectively, and I am doing the 'follow' type of referrals. These settings have not changed, according to my documentation, since I set up the bind. Thanks for the hint though as it doesn't hurt to doublecheck.

Regards,

Try to change the Distinguished Name to this format:

uid=diradmin,cn=users,dc=server,dc=example,dc=com

We see this, at least in Self Service, when we have to change the name of a person's account (after marriage or whatever). Still haven't found a resolution. We haven't tried it with any other apps.

I've had logins solved for a long time now (look at the dates on my OP). Right now I'm running into account logouts on the first "fat fingering" instead of the third. I captured some logs with JAMF support help and they're looking at them now.

The JSS is definitely hitting our domain controllers many, *many*, times when someone puts in a bad password.

PS IIRC, My issue was down to certificates.
