Hi. I'm new to this list and it's a week i'm really fighting with directory server. I followed some howtos, i downloaded a lot of documents but i can't get out of trouble. I need to make login from my linux boxes on ldap directory server. If i try to use my test user in clear mode i can do that. The problem is when i try to configure a self-signed certificate. I'll not describe all the tests i've done, i'll tell you just the last!! I created my cacert.pem on the ldapserver and i installed from the console. It goes and it's ok. Then i used openssl to generate a private key and a certificate request then i signed it. That's what i did: openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048 openssl req -new -key privkey.pem -out PEM.csr openssl ca -cert cacert.pem -in PEM.csr -out cert.pem I copied cacert.pem, privkey.pem and cert.pem on the client and i configured ldap.conf on it: URI ldaps://<ldapserver>:636 BASE ou=UTENTI,o=postel,c=com host kingu.postel.com TLS_REQCERT allow TLS_CHECKPEER yes TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/ssl TLS_CACERT /etc/ssl/cacert.pem TLS_CERT /etc/ssl/cert.pem TLS_KEY /etc/ssl/privkey.pem I activated ssl on my ldap server and i installed my cacert.pem on it. i didn't anything else. I tried also to generate a certificate request from directory server and to sign it with my cacert.pem. Then i imported it like my server-cert. It imported it but login still didn't go. I followed the manuals i found on directory.fedora.org (managing SSL and SASL), but i saw a lot of documents too. I think logs say nothing bad. That's my access log: / / /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:54 +0200] conn=15 fd=65 slot=65 SSL connection from <ldap client> to <ldap server>/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:54 +0200] conn=15 SSL 256-bit AES/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:54 +0200] conn=15 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128 version=3/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:54 +0200] conn=15 op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0 dn=""/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:54 +0200] conn=15 op=1 SRCH base="ou=UTENTI,o=postel,c=com" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=utente))" attrs="uid userPassword uidNumber gidNumber cn homeDirectory loginShell gecos description objectClass"/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:54 +0200] conn=15 op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:56 +0200] conn=15 op=2 SRCH base="ou=UTENTI,o=postel,c=com" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=utente))" attrs="uid userPassword uidNumber gidNumber cn homeDirectory loginShell gecos description objectClass"/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:56 +0200] conn=15 op=2 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:56 +0200] conn=15 op=3 SRCH base="ou=UTENTI,o=postel,c=com" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=shadowAccount)(uid=utente))" attrs="uid userPassword shadowLastChange shadowMax shadowMin shadowWarning shadowInactive shadowExpire shadowFlag"/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:56 +0200] conn=15 op=3 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:56 +0200] conn=15 op=4 SRCH base="ou=UTENTI,o=postel,c=com" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=utente))" attrs="uid userPassword uidNumber gidNumber cn homeDirectory loginShell gecos description objectClass"/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:56 +0200] conn=15 op=4 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0/ /[10/Apr/2007:14:59:56 +0200] conn=16 fd=66 slot=66 SSL connection from <ldap client> to <ldap server>/ To me it seems it says nothing bad. I can't get out of it and i don't understand what is wrong. The directory server version is 1.0.4. I installed it from RPM on redhat enterprise 4. If i try to log on URI ldap://<ldapserver> (not ssl !!) it goes and i can authenticate using ldap!!! Anyone can help me, please??? Thanks everyone.
