GLPRDB001E Error code -1 from function SQLConnect

GLPRDB001E Error code -1 from function:” SQLConnect ” ldapdb2b, message appears during startup of LDAP server.

Customer reported this error message and when I was checking the startup logs or tried starting the LDAP server, logs were clearly showing the Database was not started properly.

[root@<hostname> sbin]# ./ibmslapd

GLPSRV180I Pass-through authentication is disabled.
GLPCOM003I Non-SSL port initialized to 389.

Though customer was able see the status as started, but ideally there was problem with the Database start & Stop.

Resolution

As I stated in my earlier blog entry, please check if the database instance is setup properly as environment variable and also access control should be proper so that LDAP server can start without any problems.
