Common LDAP Server Issues

The causes of the exceptions are discussed in brief. If you have anything to add, feel free to comment!

com.bea.security.providers.xacml.store.ldap.LDAPException:
netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (49)

This exception is encountered when the password of the principal trying to connect to the LDAP Server is wrong.

The AD-specific error code is the one after “data” and before “vece” or “v893” in the actual error string returned to the binding process

525​ user not found ​
52e​ invalid credentials ​
530​ not permitted to logon at this time​
531​ not permitted to logon at this workstation​
532​ password expired ​
533​ account disabled ​
701​ account expired ​
773​ user must reset password ​
775​ user account locked​

Caused by: netscape.ldap.LDAPException: Connection refused (91)

The exception is usually encounterd due to wrong configuration parameters, especially hostname or port of the LDAP Server.

netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (32);
This exception is usually due to faulty synchronization of LDAP updates on the managed server. It occurs on reading a record on the LDAP Server which no longer exists due to concurrent updates. Enabling Refresh Replica At Startup from the console enables the Managed Server to get the latest ldap data at the time of startup.

[Security:090252]advance error for cursor name Users2053917525..
netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (4)

This is caused after browsing through 1000 (default MaxPageSize on AD) Users/Groups.
To overcome this we need to increase the MaxPage Size on Active Directory.

The DEC: values are not presented in Portal logs; however, review of LDAP activity combined with analysis of SystemOut.log and relevant configuration tasks can help narrow down the root cause.

  1. <The DeployableAuthorizer "myrealm_weblogic.security.providers.xacml.authorization.XACMLAuthorizationProviderImpl"returned an error: weblogic.security.spi.ResourceCreationException: [Security:090310]Failed to create resource.

    Solution: go to WL_HOME/servers/name/data/ldap and remove ldapfiles and name.ldif

  2. Can someone please explain more about this error.

    netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (32);

    I am getting same exception on console while veiwing users in weblogic console.
    WLS 8.1. SP6.

    1. Hi Priyanka,

      netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (32);

      This exception is usually due to faulty synchronization of LDAP updates on the managed server. It occurs on reading a record on the LDAP Server which no longer exists due to concurrent updates.
      Enabling Refresh Replica At Startup from the console enables the Managed Server to get the latest ldap data at the time of startup.

      Refer the below article.

    1. “The exception is [LDAP: error code 49 – 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0Cxxxxxx, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data xxx, vece ].”

      However, there are several values that can indicate what LDAP function is causing the issue. Here are some general references for Microsoft Active Directory:

      The AD-specific error code is the one after “data” and before “vece” or “v893” in the actual error string returned to the binding process

      525​ user not found ​
      52e​ invalid credentials ​
      530​ not permitted to logon at this time​
      531​ not permitted to logon at this workstation​
      532​ password expired ​
      533​ account disabled ​
      701​ account expired ​
      773​ user must reset password ​
      775​ user account locked​

      One way to simply the configuration is first try connecting to LDAP using a LDAP browser such as softerra.

      If you are able to connect using the LDAP Browser, use the same CN , UserBase DN, GoupBaseDN, Principle, Host and Port in apache server configuration.

      You can download the softerra LDAP browser from the below site.
