Using LDAP_PROBE for IBM tivoli directory server

sanjaysutar — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 01:14:35 GMT

Hi All,

Anyone tried using LDAP_PROBE (that is shipped by default) for load-balancing/fail-over of IBM Tivoli Directory Server?

I have tried the default script that does ananymous bind , but it doesnt do the job. I suspect if the response returned from Tivoli directory server is not in same format as expected but how do i check the response format and check the offset of status in response.

Attaching the script and debug output.

probe scripted LDAP-Probe-389

port 389

interval 5

faildetect 2

passdetect count 2

script LDAP_PROBE_3.tcl DEBUG

Error output:

Hi Sanjay,

If you want to see what the server is response is then you can take a pcap on ACE itself or on server or on switch between ACE and server. That should show you what server is responding.
