I am running apache2-2.0.54 under Debian sarge on a PIII, with the following modules enabled: auth_ldap.load, cgid.load, ssl.load. All works fine for both http:// and https:// access. Cleartext LDAP (ldap://) authentication works fine, too, httpd.conf:LDAPSharedCacheFile /tmp/mod_ldap_cache.tmp sites-enabled/000-default: AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=ugradgrant,ou=pwcheck,dc=northwestern,dc=edu" sites-enabled/000-default: AuthLDAPBindPassword "############" sites-enabled/000-default: AuthName "LDAP-Authenticated URGC Reviews" sites-enabled/000-default: AuthLDAPURL "ldap://ldap2.itcs.northwestern.edu/dc=northwestern,dc=edu?nuIdTag?sub?" sites-enabled/000-default: AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=ugradgrant,ou=pwcheck,dc=northwestern,dc=edu" with success recorded in the Apache2 log as follows: [debug] /home/adconrad/build/apache2/security/sarge/apache2-2.0.54/build-tree/apache2/modules/experimental/mod_auth_ldap.c(337): [client 172.171.211.47] [4521] auth_ldap authenticate: using URL ldap://ldap2.itcs.northwestern.edu/dc=northwestern,dc=edu?nuIdTag?sub?

Any suggestions as to why ldaps:// authentication alone is failing?
