ERROR: ''Protocol error''

SOLUTION 1:

Upgrade to !SquirrelMail 1.4.3 and set protocol version to 3 in LDAP address book configuration. If you get this error in other !SquirrelMail plugins that use LDAP, ask plugin developers to implement v3 bind protocol options or see other solutions.

SOLUTION 2:

The !OpenLDAP Quick Start Guide instructions at http://www.openldap.org involve starting and stopping {{slapd}} at the command line.

On !FreeBSD 4.9, PHP 4.3.4, !SquirrelMail 1.4.2, !OpenLDAP 2.1.23 there are three requirements to not get this Protocol error

Check that {{allow bind_v2}} was added to {{/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf}}

Check that {{/etc/rc.conf}} contains the following entries as mentioned in the ports message after compile of !OpenLDAP.

<code>
slapd_enable="YES"
slapd_flags='-h "ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fopenldap%2fldapi/ ldap://0.0.0.0:389"'
slapd_sockets="/var/run/openldap/ldapi"
</code>

Use {{/usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd.sh}} start to start the slapd daemon and {{/usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd.sh}} stop to stop the daemon

Make sure you stop and start the daemon after you make the configuration changes.

----

'''OS X 10.4.X Server'''

Pico or VI {{/etc/openldap/slapd_macosxserver.conf}}

ADD to the file:

<code>
allow bind_v2
</code>

Save & Exit

Restart Slapd w/ the Activity Viewer application or command line

<code>
cd /etc/squirrelmail/config/
./conf.pl
6 [enter]
N (LDAP Addressbook Number) [enter]
</code>

Leave the rest of the settings default except the following:

<code>
hostname: (Your server hostname)
base: cn=users,dc=yourdomain,dc=com
Protocol Name: Staff (or whatever you want to call it)
</code>
