Hi, I have Gluu installed in a Ubuntu 16 virtual machine vagrant box. All of the services are running fine and the server is accessible from my host machine (windows laptop). I am not able to connect to OpenDJ using Apache DS studio. The connection is successful but the authentication seems to fail. I have tried following so far : - Searched for similar tickets on support site. - Exported opendj.crt and added that to Apache DS Studio but no success - Tried creating SSL tunnel as mentioned in the Gluu documentation, no success there as well - Disabled all firewalls in ubuntu ldaptools works as expected from with in the ubuntu server but it doesn't work from the host machine.

Following is excerpt from my vagrant file which exposes the opendj ports to my host machine : ``` # Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port # within the machine from a port on the host machine. In the example below, # accessing "localhost:8080" will access port 80 on the guest machine. # NOTE: This will enable public access to the opened port # config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080 config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 1636, host: 1636 config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 4444, host: 4444 ```

One thing is I don't think you should use StartTLS if you're using ldaps.

That was one of option I was trying, I have tried all of the available options there : no Encryption, Ldaps and startTLS..

Hi, Surendra. >The connection is successful but the authentication seems to fail What bind DN do you use when authenticating to OpenDJ? Or what username? Are you sure the credentials you provide are 100% correct?

Hi, It is shown in the screenshot that I have attached. Bind DN used was cn=directory manager. I am 100% sure that the credentials are correct. Same credentials are working when running ldapsearch from with in the server.

Can you add the LDAP logs? Do you see the connection in the access logs? Any other hints there?

That's pretty clear. You must import the SSL cert for the LDAP server in the truststore the JRE for ApacheDS is using...

I have already added the cert to Apache DS to permanently trusted certs (please check the attached screenshot). Let me try adding to the JRE also.

I saw that, but something tells me it didn't work. I would import the cert directly into the cacerts used by Apache Directory Studio.

Imported the opend.crt to cacerts but unfortunately same error !! ``` C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_211\jre\lib\security>keytool -importcert -file opendj.crt -keystore cacerts -alias "opendj" Enter keystore password: Owner: CN=localhost, O=OpenDJ RSA Self-Signed Certificate Issuer: CN=localhost, O=OpenDJ RSA Self-Signed Certificate Serial number: 19a7e3e5 Valid from: Sat Nov 03 15:40:25 EET 2018 until: Fri Oct 29 16:40:25 EEST 2038 Certificate fingerprints: MD5: FD:AB:EC:92:B0:1B:3F:9A:1E:D4:F9:F1:0B:6B:9A:CC SHA1: E8:0A:E5:39:51:71:AF:AC:5A:60:B6:08:BC:18:10:68:32:03:D5:B5 SHA256: FF:36:83:78:AD:83:FF:53:91:9E:80:A8:7E:50:19:5B:7B:27:9C:66:A6:18:2C:75:DE:86:62:78:03:BB:65:4B Signature algorithm name: SHA1withRSA Subject Public Key Algorithm: 2048-bit RSA key Version: 3 Trust this certificate?

You are sure this is the JRE used by your Apache Directory Studio? If so, it could be a bug in the ApacheDS studio code which is outside the realm of stuff we can help you with. Maybe post on their forums, and see if there is a way to "trust all"

By Surendra Khatana user 16 Jul 2019 at 9:38 a.m. CDT

Yeah, it is the same JRE. Thanks for your help so far on this one :). Which ldap tool do you recommend to use ? Which one do you use internally ? Thanks.

Most people here use [JXplorer](http://jxplorer.org/).

By Surendra Khatana user 19 Jul 2019 at 1:28 a.m. CDT

Not able to connect using JXplorer either. It might be related to vagrant environment networking. Do you guys use Vagrant internally ?

Hi Khatana, I'm adding a screenshot of a valid config here for jxplorer.

Also i noticed from my own experience that sometimes using **127.0.0.1** as hostname don't work. So better to test both **127.0.0.1** and **localhost**.

This is not resolved yet but let's close this ticket. This is an issue when Gluu is set up in a vagrant box.
