PLA cannot connect to LDAP server

[ssgituser]

Getting error "Unable to connect to LDAP server" when trying to log into PLA. I have verified that I can connect to LDAP server with credentials over both 389/tcp and 636/tcp via CLI (ldapadmin). I also do not see any connection attempts in the ldap server logs. Tried increasing the verbosity in the PLA logs, but I cannot decipher from those entries why PLA is not attempting to connect.

[ssgituser]

Fixed the issue. Seems that SELinux was blocking the connection. Needed to run the following:

$ sudo getsebool httpd_can_connect_ldap
httpd_can_connect_ldap --> off
$ sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_connect_ldap on
$ sudo getsebool httpd_can_connect_ldap
httpd_can_connect_ldap --> on
