[RADIATOR] LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR

[Jim Tyrrell]

Hi,

Can someone shed light on what the error message "LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR" 
actually means?  I am seeing this quite frequently in the logs of our 
Radius servers that connect to a load balanced cluster of LDAP servers.  
I had suspected the connection being dropped/timed out on firewalls or 
the load balancer, but Radiator is reporting this immediately after 
attempting the lookup:


Tue Dec 13 10:04:49 2011: DEBUG: Rewrote user name to user123 at domain.com
Tue Dec 13 10:04:49 2011: DEBUG: Packet dump:

'Called-Station-Id = /xxxxxxxx/'
Tue Dec 13 10:04:49 2011: DEBUG: Rewrote user name to user123 at domain.com
Tue Dec 13 10:04:49 2011: DEBUG: Handling with Radius::AuthLDAP2:
Tue Dec 13 10:04:49 2011: ERR: ldap search for 
(&(uid=user123 at domain.com)(objectstatus=enable)(rasstatus=enable)) 
failed with error LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR.
Tue Dec 13 10:04:49 2011: ERR: Disconnecting from LDAP server (server 
ldap-cluster:389).
Tue Dec 13 10:04:49 2011: DEBUG: AuthBy LDAP2 result: IGNORE, User 
database access error

I cant see any obvious errors on the LDAP servers.  I assume as the 
error message is instant after the lookup then it is getting some sort 
of response from LDAP but doesnt like it for some reason?

Thanks.

Jim.
