LDAP authentication problem

Trying to resolve an LDAP authentication to a Win2K box running eDir 8.7.3.  A 3rd party system is trying to authenticate to the ldap.

Here are the errors I get in the LDAP trace:

LDAP    : (192.168.1.41:35589)(0x0000:0x00) TLS read failure 5 on connection 0x6773070, setting err = -5875. Error stack:
LDAP    : Monitor 0x1584 found connection 0x6773070 socket failure, err = -5875, 0 of 0 bytes read

Thanks.

Does the Win2k box have Ad installed?  If so, AD takes port 389 and 636. so the Novell LDAP listener is usually setup on a different port (388 for clear text).  

Try using Softerra LDAP Browser for testing, it helps and makes figuring LDAP issues out mush easier.

Well, the Win2K box is a member server, but not a pdc or bdc.  Yes it does take port 389, but It did not appear to be listening on port 636.

So I setup ldap to use port 1389 (but then disabled the port and the ability to use cleartext) for unsecure and left it at 636 for secure. is that my problem?

I've tried to use ldap browsers but it seems that it's very difficult to get the certificate to work with them. How do you normally do this?

also.... I remember that when I first set this up, i did try to set the secure ldap port to a non-636 port, but it hosed up everything -- imanager, etc. and I didn't want to deal with it so i moved it back.
