LDAP working, LDAPS not connecting

I’m able to connect fine using ldap.

The site is running on https and i’m receiving a certificate from the ldap server/domain controller.

I’m actually able to connect from the webserver to ldap using ldp.exe and binding with the service account.

When I configure LDAPS it’s simply not able to connect. error logs below:

Creating adLDAP object failed. exception ‘adLDAPException’ with message ‘Bind to Active Directory failed. Either the LDAPs connection failed or the login credentials are incorrect. AD said: Can’t contact LDAP server’ in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\

I know the login credentials are correct because I can connect with them when using LDAP. only LDAPS is the problem.

the log from authentication test:

Username for the sync user does not contain a correct suffix. If the connection to the ad fails, this could be the cause. Please make sure you have added all UPN suffixes to the configuration tab User -> Account suffix.

Authentication for user ‘svc-wordpress’ failed because: Can’t contact LDAP server

Login for Credentials={login=’[email protected]’,sAMAccountName=’svc-wordpress’,userPrincipalName=’[email protected]’,netbios=”} failed: none of the suffixes succeeded
