log/audit of unsuccesful ldaps login attempt

[ido.hadanny]

Hi, I'm trying to access my win2003 domain controller thru LDAPS. LDAP
works fine, but when I try LDAPS I get the same
"netscape.ldap.LDAPException: The connection is not available (80)" at
the client side, and I can't seem to find any way to get the server to
audit/log/show any signs of acknowledging the unsuccessful attempt...
Now, there are millions of things that could go wrong which I
configured (credentials, certificates, certification authority
certificate, java keystore, etc.) but without any clear error message
it's really tough..

Please help... thanks!

You need to get a trace of the network traffic from both ends of the
transaction. From that, you can find the direction you need to go in
troubleshooting the LDAP/SSL issue.

Make sure that the request gets there, see what the server replies with.
Obviously if the SSL portion is working, you won't see anything useful
inside the packets, but you can verify ports and some of the higher level
stuff.

I'd need a lot more data to get this figured out.
