According to the documentation web page (https://gluu.org/docs/ce/authn-guide/google/), I should be able to access the back-end LDAP server with the following command. /opt/symas/bin/ldapsearch -h localhost -p 1636 -D "cn=directory manager,o=gluu" -w "my_password" -b "ou=appliances,o=gluu" -s one "objectclass=*" inum **I have corrected two typos in the web page. The host has been changed from "locahost" to "localhost". And, the port has been changed from "1389" to "1636". Moreover, I have double confirmed that the password is correct. Furthermore, if I test the LDAP connection in the Gluu server, it returns a successful response.** However, I just get the error message "Can't contact LDAP server (-1)" from the above mentioned "ldapsearch" command. Please advise.

>> /opt/symas/bin/ldapsearch -h localhost -p 1636 -D "cn=directory manager,o=gluu" -w "my_password" -b "ou=appliances,o=gluu" -s one "objectclass=*" inum Please add -Z -X parameters as 1636 is SSL port. Let's see how it goes.

Sorry... I missed something. You were using ldapsearch binary of symas. We can't use -h -p for openldap ldapsearch. Instead we can use this (/tmp/.dspw has my password in below command): ``` ldap@ce-dev2:~$ /opt/opendj/bin/ldapsearch -h localhost -p 1636 -Z -X -D "cn=directory manager,o=gluu" -j /tmp/.dspw -b 'ou=appliances,o=gluu' -s one 'objectclass=*' inum dn: inum=@!82A2.89A8.FE0E.90DE!0002!63A5.8790,ou=appliances,o=gluu inum: @!82A2.89A8.FE0E.90DE!0002!63A5.8790 ldap@ce-dev2:~$ ```

Thanks for reply from Mohib at 12:27pm on 3 Mar 2017. You mentioned that -h and -p cannot be used. However, they do exist in your reply (/opt/opendj/bin/ldapsearch **-h** localhost **-p** 1636 -Z -X -D "cn=directory manager,o=gluu" -j /tmp/.dspw -b 'ou=appliances,o=gluu' -s one 'objectclass=*' inum). Please comment.

For openldap, -z -x are not allowed. In second command I took the benefit of using opendj commands.
