Hi I have 2 problems which are as listed below:
1.In the first instance i have to check whether the HTTPS
service is running on a remote machine or not.The
following is the code snippet for it: 
use LWP::UserAgent;
my ($strHttpURL)='https://machinename;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET =>$strHttpURL);
$res = $ua->request($req);

if ($res->is_success) {
print ("$strHttpURL connected successfully");
return $TRUE;
}
else{
print "$strHttpURL not connected");
}

I have secured the https://machinename link. However, the
problem is though i am able to run the above code from
windows, it does not succeed in unix.Also, the
operation succeeds in unix when i try to access any 'http' service.
Is the problem related to some certificate mismatch.

2.The second problem is on the similar lines,here i have to
check whether the LDAPS server is running or not.In
windows i am able to check both the LDP and LDAPS
services. However, in UNIX the LDAP code works fine but
LDAPS again is not able to connect properly.The
following is the code snippet for LDAPS: 

use Net::LDAPS;
use Net::LDAP;


$ldaps = Net::LDAPS->new( $strLDAPIpAdd,port =>$strLDAPPort,onerror=>u
+ndef);
if ($ldaps==undef) {
print("Ip Address of LDAP server over SSL is not correct");
return $ERROR;
}

$mesg = $ldaps->bind();
if ($mesg->code==0) {
print ("LDAP over SSL with ip $strLDAPIpAdd connected successfully!");
$mesg=$ldaps->unbind;
 }
 else{
 print("LDAP over SSL with ip $strLDAPIpAdd not connected...");
$mesg=$ldaps->unbind;
}

I think both the above problems are related.Pls help.
