_hp_ldap_split_host_port(): host parsing failed, parameter error

Binbin_1 — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 09:08:08 GMT

When I try to setup the LDAP on HP to connect to a remote Directory Server. The "nsquery passwd user ldap" command always fails.

Actually the ldapsearch works fine with anonymous bind.

Here's the output to nsquery command:
-bash-3.00# nsquery passwd abc ldap

Using "ldap" for the passwd policy.
Searching ldap for abc
This Name Service is currently unavailable
Switch configuration: Allows fallback
All name services have been searched

The error messages in the log:

Hi,

It sounds like the host name has not been configured in the DUAConfigProfile. Could you perform the following steps for debugging:

/opt/ldapux/config/display_profile_cache

look for the host[:port] entry

LDAP-UX Client Services

Global Information from the Configuration Profile
=================================================
host[:port]: 99.99.99.99:389 100.100.100.100:389
default search base: dc=cup,dc=hp,dc=com

...

Also try:

more /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.ldif

version: 1
dn: cn=myprofile,dc=example,dc=com
profilettl: 3600
preferredserverlist: 99.99.99.99:389 100.100.100.100:389

Thank you, Bob!
I think you're right.
There're no host/port info in the output of display_profile_cache.

-bash-3.00# ./display_profile_cache |more

LDAP-UX Client Services

Global Information from the Configuration Profile
=================================================
host[:port]:
default search base:
auth: simple
profilecachettl: 0 = infinite
follow referrals: enabled
search time limit: 0 = no limit
bind time limit: 0 = no limit
credential level: anonymous

The ldapux_profiles.dlif seems ok:

-bash-3.00# more /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.ldif
version: 1
dn: cn=profile1,ou=Profiles,dc=mydomain,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: ldapsubentry
objectClass: nsroledefinition
objectClass: nssimpleroledefinition
objectClass: nsmanagedroledefinition
cn: profile1

So how shall I regonfiguer the host/port?
If I run the config/setup, the host/port is displayed correctly.
Is there some configure files I can modity to set this?
Thank you a lot!

Some recently update:
-bash-3.00# ./get_profile_entry -o p.ldif
Modify p.ldif to add following lines;
preferredserverlist: 9.123.98.94:389
defaultsearchbase:dc=mydomain,dc=com
bindtimelimit:10
Then the content of p.ldif is like:
version: 1
dn: cn=profile1,ou=Profiles,dc=cn,dc=ibm,dc=com
preferredserverlist: 9.123.98.94:389
objectClass: top
objectClass: ldapsubentry
objectClass: nsroledefinition
objectClass: nssimpleroledefinition
objectClass: nsmanagedroledefinition
cn: profile1
defaultsearchbase:dc=myhost,dc=com
bindtimelimit:10

Then I re-generate the cache file by:
-bash-3.00# ./create_profile_cache -i p.ldif

Now the nsquery ldap works:

-bash-3.00# nsquery passwd zhaobb ldap

Using "ldap" for the passwd policy.

Searching ldap for zhaobb
User name: zhaobb
User Id: 122
Group Id: 20
Gecos:
Home Directory: /home/zhaobb
Shell: /sbin/sh

Switch configuration: Terminates Search

I'm setting the PAM and will test if I can login to the hpux box with a ldap user.
