SUN ONE LDAP 5.2 and SUN Cluster 3.1

Hi folks,

got a problem here on one of our clusters, just askin' if someone saw this
before and can give me a hint.
I have two 280's, running SUN Cluster 3.1, OS Solaris 9.0 (Release 12/03).
I have to run an LDAP Directory Server on the cluster, so I downloaded SUN
ONE (or, as it is called now, SUN Java Systems) Directory Server 5.2 (newest
version), installed it, and integrated it into the cluster according to SUN
documentation.
Everything seemed to work, but when the cluster starts the LDAP system, I
get messages reading "Start of resourcegroup failed, secure connection to
<logical host> port 389 refused" and then "<resourcegroup> restarting to
often, sleeping for xx seconds". The cluster keeps trying to start the
resource, switches it to the other node, tries it there without success, and
gives up with the well-known message "Rebalance: No primary node could be
found".
I removed the ldap-resource itself, started the rest of the rg, and tried to
start the LDAP server manually with start-slapd - that worked fine, and the
ldap server bound itself to the logical host, port 389. I was also able to
connect this port with telnet, etc.

I tried to search for patches for the cluster or the OS at sunsolve, but the
only patch I've found was 113800-06, which was "not applicable" on my
system. Of course, I have the latest OS-patchcluster installed.
I also searched docs.sun.com for the error message, found it there, but the
solution was not very good for my problem (Just wait, the cluster will
restart or switch the rg, and everything should be fine).

So, the question is:

Could it be that Directory Server 5.2 does not work properly with SUN
Cluster 3.1? Anyone tried this before?

Any ideas or hints are welcome...

Have a nice weekend,

keep on hackin',

Harald
