Hello again, I'm suspecting more and more that it was a certificate issue, since the error log references port 636. However, I've gone over the SSL HOWTO on the FDS wiki and I don't understand what the problem is. When I installed FDS about 5 months ago I used the information provided here, http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/ssl.html#1087158 on setting up a self signed certificate. This link was posted on the SSL HOWTO on help with using certutil. I was able to get FDS up and running with SSL after a couple emails to the list and a couple changes to the FDS wiki regarding SSL. As I said, it's been running well for the past 5 months or so. My understanding was that the example there created a cert that would be valid for 123 months (-v 120) plus the default 3 months? I would not expect this cert to have expired already. That said, I went through the same steps to try and recreate the CA and Server certs for the directory again now. After doing so without any error messages, I tried to start the directory server again and I'm getting the same message. Thanks. - Kevin On 12/5/05, Kevin Kovach <kovach at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm a bit confused this morning.
