[ovirt-users] Can't perform search after setting up an Active Directory

[Alexis HAUSER]

This is really weird : If I manually run : dig _ldap._tcp.my_forst_name.com SRV
I can see the 4 AD servers in ANSWER, AUTHORITY and ADDITIONAL SECTION

If I use : pool.default.serverset.srvrecord.service = ldaps
In the logs I see this : "An error occurred while attempting to query DNS in order to retrieve SRV records with name '_ldaps._tcp.my_forest_name.com':"

The same happens with : dig @any_of_the_4_AD_server _ldap._tcp.my_forest_name.com SRV

So why dig can resolve it but not ovirt ?

Interesting, now I understand better...

"ldaps" is also a kind of conventional "microsoft SRV record" like _ldaps_tcp ?


With startTLS I didn't have any success (and I don't really get why) :
