this works great from a redhat 4 box, however from my redhat 3 box I receive the following error: ldapsearch -x -ZZ '(uid =azb)' ldap_start_tls: Connect error additional info: Start TLS request accepted.Server willing to negotiate SSL. relevant entries of /etc/ldap.conf look like this: pam_password md5 ssl start_tls ssl on tls_cacertfile /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.pem tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts/ client has read and execute to the ca certificate relavent entries of /etc/openldap/ldap.conf TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts TLS_REQCERT allow I'm just trying to verify that ssl logins are working from the redhat 3 box; secure logins from the redhat 4 box work fine.
