Just installed Gluu Server 3.1.1 in EC2 instance, oxauth/login can access from outside AWS. I was able to create two test account and one test group. I ssh into the EC2 instance and login to container and perform following search: -bash-4.2# /opt/opendj/bin/ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -p 1636 -s sub -T -Z -X -D 'cn=directory manager,o=gluu' -w 'myBindPassword' -b 'o=gluu' gluuGroupType=gluuManagerGroup Got response as following: dn: inum=@!AF69.D089.AC59.7862!0001!4F7A.3C41!0003!60B7,ou=groups,o=@!AF69.D089.AC59.7862!0001!4F7A.3C41,o=gluu objectClass: top objectClass: gluuGroup gluuGroupType: gluuManagerGroup inum: @!AF69.D089.AC59.7862!0001!4F7A.3C41!0003!60B7 gluuStatus: active displayName: Gluu Manager Group member: inum=@!AF69.D089.AC59.7862!0001!4F7A.3C41!0000!A8F2.DE1E.D7FB,ou=people,o=@!AF69.D089.AC59.7862!0001!4F7A.3C41,o=gluu However, if I run ldapsearch outside of AWS as following: $ ldapsearch -h theGluuServerIP -p 1636 -s sub -T -Z -X -D 'cn=directory manager,o=gluu' -w 'myBindPassword' -b 'o=gluu' gluuGroupType=gluuManagerGroup I got following response: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) I am new to Gluu Server, please advice how to resolve the issue.

Hi Dough, It's not possible to access Gluu Server's LDAP data from outside of it's own VM. You need to create a reverse tunnel from your computer to do that. Here is an example: [Local User Management](https://gluu.org/docs/ce/3.1.1/user-management/local-user-management/)
