Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
A non-Windows Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) client tries to bind a Windows Server 2008-based domain controller.
-
This client uses the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) protocol for user authentication.
-
This client makes a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/ Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection with the Windows Server 2008-based domain controller.
In this scenario, the Windows Server 2008 domain controller cannot negotiate Quality of Protection (QoP) for TLS connections from this non-Windows LDAP client and the binding process fails.
After this problem occurs, the following event is added into the Directory Service log:
Cause
This problem occurs because Windows Server 2008-based domain controllers incorrectly deny the communication from non-Windows LDAP clients. You expereince this issue if you use Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) authentication and SSL/TLS connections.
