Hi William, it's an old thread, but it's mine, so I will give an update to the situation and a follow-up question. We changed from StartTLS on 389 to SSL on 636 some time ago. Trying to reconsider the topic we found that there is no plaintext password sent via network between the replicants, which was the case in the StartTLS on 389 scenario. This would reduce the problem with plaintext password for the replication manager to the storage, mainly the dse.ldif, I think. We would be glad if you could confirm this thought. It would save us from trying again the use of client auth for replication which hadn't been successful yet. Kind regards, Eugen _______________________________________________ 389-users mailing list -- 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to 389-users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
