As suggested, I checked if ssl worked....to test it I did a fresh install and I corrected the problem about node, now each node use its real address and name (I moved in future cluster configuration)...About SSL I exactly follow documentation and your tips...according with SSL howto in fedora wiki directory, I follow it until "Importing the CA cert into another Fedora DS"...after that: - in console I activated ssl for my directory. - I restarted directory server - In log I can see that now slapd listening on all interfaces on port 389 and port 636 for LDAPS requests. unfortunatly, when I try : ldapsearch -ZZ -h nodo1.domain.example.com -b "dc=domain,dc=example,dc=com" -s sub "objectclass=*" the answer is: SSL initialization failed: error -8174 (security library:bad database) ..but in log...nothing I tried also to erase db andfollowing the link below to make it http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/ssl.html#1087158
