Rich, Thanks very much for your replies. I tried again with no luck. I had it working with the self-signed cert using setupssl2.sh. I changed the password on the database to one I could type and verified that it worked ok. I then added in my star cert, removed the self-signed certs, and stopped the services. When I tried to restart I get this error: [root at ldaptest slapd-nsd-org]# service dirsrv start Starting dirsrv: nsd-org...[03/Mar/2010:09:09:25 -0800] - SSL alert: Security Initialization: Can't find certificate (CA certificate) for family cn=RSA,cn=encryption,cn=config (Netscape Portable Runtime error -8174 - security library: bad database.)

[FAILED] *** Warning: 1 instance(s) failed to start I use digicert as my authority. They have options for the certs when I get them (e.g. Apache, Tomcat, Java, etc.). I have been choosing Apache and it seems to install just fine. Perhaps I need to choose a different type? It looks like by adding in my cert and removing my old certs, it trashed the database somehow. certutil -P ldaptest -d . -L certutil: function failed: security library: bad database. I am going to do another reinstall and try again. Do you know of any documentation for using non-self-signed certs with 389 directory server all the docs I find are for self-signed certs. cheers ski On 03/03/2010 08:46 AM, Rich Megginson wrote: > Ski Kacoroski wrote: >> Ok, looks like I need to reboot the entire server to get the admin >> console stop server functionality to work. > You probably could have just restarted the directory server and admin > server: > service dirsrv restart > service dirsrv-admin restart >> Now, has anyone had any luck >> using a * cert with the 389 server? >> > What problems are you having still? >> cheers, >> >> ski >> >> On 03/02/2010 03:24 PM, Ski Kacoroski wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I am having problems with SSL setup.
