I find I can access the ldap directory from the desktop on which the openldap server is running: ------------------------- [tim@alfred ~]$ ldapsearch -x -ZZ # extended LDIF ... # search result search: 3 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 7 # numEntries: 6 ------------------------- but not from my laptop: ------------------------- [tim@elizabeth ~]$ ldapsearch -x -ZZ ldap_start_tls: Connect error (-11) additional info: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed ------------------------- I've never really understood this certificate business. Is there a simple tutorial on that anywhere? One minor source of confusion is that Fedora seems to keep certificates in /etc/pki/tls/ whereas all the openldap documentation I have looked at seems to expect them in other /etc/ directories. But thanks very much for your help. I am making progress, slowly but surely. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
