Why the LDAP server does not accept any connection upon the installation of iPlanet Application
"I am carrying my tests under W2000 with all the default installation options. I've checked the user ID (admin), password and port are correct. However, I was not able to start the Netscape Console and also, the kregedit exited with messages:

Hi,
I'm not sure if there are known issues with iAS test drive and Windows 2000 howevere I would like to help you in cracking the error.
The GXBIND error appears only when the iAS is not able to communicate with the directory server. In our case, let us proceed by the following...
1. Check if the directory server is running. Verify this by checking the services and look for an entry for directory server and it must look something like
"Netscape Directory Server 4.1 (machine name)" and the status is started.
2. Next, if you are not able to start the console of directory server, then you must check if the directory administrative server is running. This is also verified with the services and look for the entry...
"Netscape Administration Server 4.2" and the status is started.
3. Next, if both of the above are running, then you need to login to directory server console by using cn=Directory Server and issuing the password. If you are able to login successfully then, iAS will work, if not, then rectify the problem with directory server and I'm sure iAS will work.
4. If you have forgotten the password for cn=Directory Manager, then there is a work around for fixing the password in directory server and iAS.
Please let the outcome once you have done this.

Raj
