First check is your PC in trusted zone. Firewall -> Zones -> (Loopback
adapter 127.0.0.1) should be in trusted zone. Then check your firewall
setting. By default trusted zone should have medium security, when you
press custom button, you will see port status. On medium security by
default none port is blocked. Then click on advanced button (bellow
Blocked zone security) and see if Block trusted server is checked
uncheck it. All dialogs have Reset to default button, you can use it.
Then check program control settings. LDAP server should be granted to
access trusted zone and to work as server in trusted zone, client should
be granted to access trusted zone. You can configure trusted level (OS
"firewall") do what you think is safe. If LDAP still don't work, check
ZA logs to see what is happening, then try to fix it. It would be good
idea to ask this question on ZA forum, you will get answer quicker. If
nothing is helping, and you can't get LDAP to work reinstall ZA (Clean
install). If it still doesn't work ask for technical support.
