Failed to retrieve user's DN: [-1] Can't contact LDAP server

[Vladislav Tchernev]

In my experience (you could check the "Horde problem: Can't contact LDAP 
server" thread) the problem arise in /kolab/lib/php/Horde/Prefs/ldap.php 
file .. it seems that $params['hostspec'] is empty and I assume it is 
supposed to be set with the corresponding value 
from /kolab/var/kolab/www/horde/config/conf.php. I fixed this for me, setting 
$params['hostspec'] to '127.0.0.1' manualy 
in /kolab/lib/php/Horde/Prefs/ldap.php

Cheers
Vlad
