Hi Susan, I was using capital Z in the ldapsearch, I've uncommented "ssl on" in /etc/ldap.conf Still the same problem. # ldapsearch -x -ZZ -h ldapserver -b 'dc=example,dc=com' '(uid=someuser)' ldap_start_tls: Connect error (-11) additional info: Start TLS request accepted.Server willing to negotiate SSL. Any other thought? Thanks again, Jo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
