Workgroup Manager and Linux LDAP server: Server Admin SSL and Web-ASIP

[Philip Mötteli]

Hello,


I try to migrate the LDAP part of my OpenDirectory server to a Linux  
box.
So far I have finally succeeded in making it run, authenticate as an  
administrator and changing the values of the LDAP attributes using  
Apple's Workgroup Manager.
Unfortunately, I can't just directly connect to the LDAP server. I  
always have to connect to an OpenDirectory server and then changing  
the search path manually to the LDAP server on the Linux box. Which  
means, that I always need at least one OpenDirectory server available  
in our LAN, in order to administer the LDAP server.
If I try to connect directly, so without the long way round an  
OpenDirectory server, I see the following error message in the console:

	/Applications/Server/Workgroup Manager.app/Contents/MacOS/Workgroup  
Manager: [664] ServerManager session failed in connect(ldapserver, 
192.168.1.5,311): 61\n


The port number 311 is marked in Server Admin as "Server Admin SSL,  
also Web-ASIP". I'm afraid, but this is probably something Mac OS X  
unique? So I can't offer it on a Linux box? And it seems, without  
that, Workgroup Manager refuses to connect directly?


Thanks any help
Phil
