Re: [squid-users] Squid_Ldap_Auth error "Cant Contact LDAP Server" (Solved!!)

look at your nsswitch.conf.

hosts: files dns

If you add that to nsswitch.conf it will first look at your
/etc/hosts file and then dns. Make sure you have your AD pc
in /etc/hosts.

to be able to connect to AD you need dns to resolv its
name. Can you ping any pc on network with its FQDN when dns
is down?
