UCS Authentication Error with LDAP

[brittonv]

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.)
