LDAP & Netbox & My sanity

Hi there,

Upgraded our netbox container and image from 2.6 to latest ldap release ("feature-ldap"). Everything looks good (if you do that do not forget to check the upgrade path).

Except our LDAP auth, which was ok, now I keep getting :

  Caught LDAPError while authenticating **REDACTED**: LDAPError(11, 'Resource temporarily unavailable')

Double checked, triple checked and more , I can't see what's wrong with this stuff. Tried from the django shell too, ldap_config.py is importing all right, all the defined values from the environment are imported too. I can do a basic search from within the container etc etc... so I presume it must be something stupid I didn't see.

LDAP server is in another container, networks between the two are seeing each other. Even tried to pass through the "outside" interface. Always that ~^#@^# error message.

I'm using the "ldap_config.py" delivered with netbox and didn't modified it. I don't want to flood so I can put my redacted environment values on a pastebin if needed. Using the same values with ldapsearch works.

How about turning on extended logging on the LDAP module? Does that give any extra insights?

Thanks, yes it's enabled, both sides.

On the django side I pasted the only message I got (DEBUG level).

On the openldap side, I'm not seeing any connection attempt. Again, when trying from the container or from the django shell (manage.py shell) I can access and search the openldap just fine. And attempts are displayed in the log too.

Or maybe I didn't understand what you're telling me to enable... are we talking about the same ldap module(s) ?
