tls/ssl howto

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I've just started playing with fedora-ds and TLS by following the howto

unless I'm wrong the step-by-step certificate creation creates an
invalid certificate... I ended up generating one from cacert.org


also the following:

> Configure LDAP clients
> Modify the following in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
>
> URI     ldap://example.com
> BASE dc=example,dc=com
> HOST example.com
> TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/certs/
> TLS_REQCERT allow
>
> Note: Make sure TLS_CACERTDIR exists

might lead to confusion... I initially thought everything was working
but the line TLS_REQCERT allow... allows fallback to standard ldap


shouldn't this example be


> Configure LDAP clients
> Modify the following in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
>
> URI     ldaps://example.com
> BASE dc=example,dc=com
> TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/certs/
> TLS_REQCERT demand
>
> Note: Make sure TLS_CACERTDIR exists

The HOST line doesn't seem to be needed (for authentication anyways) and
again may be a bit confusing

also I couldn't get things working without a copy of cacerts pem
certificate in /etc/openldap/certs/

thanks for clarifying my mistakes/misinterpretations/changing the
howto... etc
