problem with tunneling

[ojalą]

Hi!
I create a tunnel in this way:

ssh root@local_host

to enter in my local host and from here

ssh -L 10123:localhost:389 root@remote_host

In this way when I open a new ssh root@local_host session, with
telnet localhost 10123
I would be connect to remote host on 389 port. (this because I want to see ldap user in remote machine)

This seems ok I think.
the problem is that if I open an ldap browser (JXplorer ldap browser) and I try to connect to localhost 10123 connection is refused:

javax.naming.ComunicationException:[server]:[porta][Root exception is java.net.ConnectException:Connection refused]

The problem is link to tunnel that is not right?

Telnet is a clear-text protocol and ssh is a Encrypted Protocol.
So, if you connect to ssh with telnet you have to send everything encrypted by yourself. I think thats one of your problems..

Try to connect to SSH using ssh ?

Tell me if that helps you abit.
cheers,

Nothing seems to change..

What do you get when you connect using SSH?
Since you should get a bigger error msg or something..

Can you print down exacly what you get if you start the ssh deamon.
And when you try to connect.

Cheers,
