[389-users] Problem with samba and 389 Directory server with LDAPS

  failed to bind to server ldaps://”FQDN of server”.stag.cle.us with dn="cn=Directory Manager" Error: Can't contact LDAP server
        (unknown)

And yes I can resolve the hostname which I have sanitized.

Thanks for the tip, but that doesn’t seem to help, still have same result.   This was just working on another machine but I had to put that one back to the way it was, and must have missed something.  Any more thoughts?

you have to use FQDN when connecting securely. and you have to use the exact name used in the certificate.

I am getting the following message in the /var/log/samba/smbd.log file when I start up samba and try to connect as a user.

Relevant part of the smb.conf

   passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://192.168.x.x
   ldap suffix = dc=stag,dc=cle,dc=us
   ldap machine suffix = ou=people
   ldap user suffix = ou=people
   ldap group suffix = ou=groups
   ldap passwd sync = yes
   ldap admin dn = cn=directory manager,dc=stag,dc=cle,dc=us
   obey pam restrictions = yes

I was able to run smbpasswd –w to add the dn admin password to the secrets.tdb but am unable to add additional users as well, again getting a cannot contact ldap server message.  I had this working on another machine, but that machine was needed for another purpose and lost the setup.  I know I must be missing something simple and am checking the HOWTO for samba on the 389-Directory Server site.
