• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LDAP065 - Deviating server name; see long text ?

  The SAP error message LDAP065, which states "Deviating server name; see long text," typically occurs in the context of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) integration with SAP systems. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the server name configured in the SAP system and the actual server name of the LDAP server being accessed.
  Cause:
  
  Server Name Mismatch: The server name specified in the SAP system configuration does not match the actual hostname or IP address of the LDAP server.

  Check DNS Resolution: If using a hostname, ensure that the SAP system can resolve the LDAP server's hostname correctly. You can test this by using command-line tools like ping or nslookup from the SAP application server.
  Review Configuration Settings: Double-check all LDAP connection settings in the SAP system, including the server name, port number, and any authentication settings.
  Network Connectivity: Ensure that there are no firewall rules or network issues preventing the SAP system from accessing the LDAP server.
  Consult SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or relevant documentation for specific configuration guidelines related to LDAP integration.
