I have followed the instructions https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/sample_configurations/UCSM_1_4_LDAP_with_AD/b_Sample_Configuration_LDAP_with_AD.pdf
However when I try to test my set up I get
host(nx-os)# test aaa server ldap 192.168.1.1 username password
error authenticating to server, status=7
Kind of at a loss on how to troubleshoot this further.

Have seen some similar cases where ldap tcp ports were blocked by firewall (i.e. port 389).
You might want to attempt a telnet to your ldap server against 389:
connect local-mgmt
local-mgmt> telnet x.x.x.x 389
and confirm you get some sort of response.

Yes I am still troubleshooting this. When I telnet to port 389 It connects just fine.

- Check the authenticating logs on the ldap-server too when this is tried.

Do you have any specifics on how to do that. I tried enabling debugging but the output was of no better detail. I have not found any authentication logs.

- Any ldap platform will have logs on authentications received , use the Search Powers of the Net with relevant keywords on that matter , (for instance 'windows server 2012 ldap server service logs' -> adapt according to your ldap platform parameters.)
