Operation bind failed: Cannot assign requested address

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote identifies a set of both IBM® Rational® ClearCase® errors as well as UNIX® or Linux® system errors that correlate to the improper configuration of LDAP that can impact ClearCase authentication and normal usage.

Cause

The following errors correlate to LDAP not being properly configured to allow enough sessions thus causing ClearCase authentication issues.


Typical error messages in ClearCase logs:
