1195276 - Please add VPN access to access ldap.db.scl3.mozilla.com for [e-mail]

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

I'm going to test and write some code for the phonebook app, but that requires the access to the LDAP server [1], which according to the source code is pm-ns.mozilla.org. [2]

But it seems I cannot access that server even with the VPN connected. Please allow me to access that server.

pm-ns.mozilla.org is a legacy name for us and it actually points to a production ldap server which in phonebooks case it would be the ldapmaster since it needs to be able to write to the ldap server.

What you're asking now is access to an ldap master and I don't think we should grant you access to that. What exactly are you trying to do with phonebook?

I don't need to write to the ldap server, I only need to read.

I want to try to improve the search function, more specifically, bug 540246.

Please point your dev code at ldap.db.scl3.mozilla.com while connected to the VPN. That should work, I believe.

That doesn't work for me either. I cannot reach ldap.db.scl3.mozilla.com as well.

I see. I thought I had an ACL for that in the vpn_corp group. I've added it now. If you reconnect your vpn session, that connection should work now on port 389.

Thanks, that works now.
