I am attempting to setup SSL/TLS support on my openLDAP 2.4 server on FreeBSD.
LBSD2# pkg_info | grep openldap
openldap-sasl-client-2.4.23 Open source LDAP client implementation
with SASL2 support
openldap-sasl-server-2.4.23 Open source LDAP server implementation
I put my cert file, key file and CA certfile in a directory called
/usr/local/etc/openldap/cacerts
Here's how it looks:
[root@LBSD2:/usr/local/etc/openldap/cacerts]#ls -l
total 48
dr--r----- 2 root ldap 512 Nov 21 17:12 bak
-r--r----- 1 root ldap 1960 Nov 21 07:05 bsd2.summitnjhome.com.crt
-r--r----- 1 root ldap 4604 Nov 21 17:16 gd_bundle.crt
-r--r----- 1 root ldap 4689 Nov 21 18:59 sf_bundle.crt
-r--r----- 1 root ldap 1537 Nov 21 17:16 sf_issuing.crt
-r--r----- 1 root ldap 1090 Nov 21 12:29 slapd.csr
-r--r----- 1 root ldap 1743 Nov 21 12:26 slapd.key
-r--r----- 1 root ldap 1675 Nov 21 17:25 slapd.pem
My cert flie is a GoDaddy turbo-ssl certfile named
bsd2.summitnjhome.com.crt. slapd.key is the key file and slapd.pem is
the same thing only with the password removed.
I'm a little unsure of which CA file to use but I think that
sf_issuing.crt _should_ work as this is the CA file that I used to
setup a similar SSL enabled LDAP server for a client recently.
Although I have tried all three CA files in this directory:
(gd_bundle.crt, sf_bundle.crt, and sf_issuing.crt).
I put the various cert/key files into my slapd.conf file like this:
LBSD2# cat slapd.conf | grep -i tls
## TLS options for slapd
TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv2
TLSCertificateFile /usr/local/etc/openldap/cacerts/bsd2.summitnjhome.com.crt
TLSCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/etc/openldap/cacerts/slapd.pem
TLSCACertificateFile /usr/local/etc/openldap/cacerts/sf_issuing.crt
Slapd restarts cleanly!
LBSD2# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd restart
Stopping slapd.
Waiting for PIDS: 81924.
Starting slapd.
Then I attempt to setup a virtual instance of CentOS 5.5 on the client
side and that's where things fall apart...I attempt to ssh to
localhost as an LDAP account:
[root@VIRTCENT08:/etc/openldap/cacerts]#ssh bluethundr@localhost
[...tectonic plates drift, careers begin and end, babies learn to
walk, talk and grow to adulthood..]
Connection closed by 127.0.0.1
[root@VIRTCENT08:/etc/openldap/cacerts]#getent passwd | grep ldapAccount
[same interminable wait as above]
This is what my /etc/ldap.conf file looks like on the client:
[root@VIRTCENT08:/etc/openldap/cacerts]#cat /etc/ldap.conf
# Your LDAP server. Must be resolvable without using LDAP.
# Multiple hosts may be specified, each separated by a
# space. How long nss_ldap takes to failover depends on

# network or connect timeouts (see bind_timelimit).
#host 127.0.0.1
# The distinguished name of the search base.
base dc=summitnjhome,dc=com
# stored in /etc/ldap.secret (mode 600)
#rootbinddn cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com

#tls_checkpeer yes

uri ldap://ldap.summitnjhome.com/
ssl start_tls
tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts
pam_password crypt
This is how my nsswitch on the client side is setup:
passwd: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
group: files ldap
And here is the cert dir on my CentOS client:
[root@VIRTCENT08:/etc/openldap/cacerts]#ls -l
total 72
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 21 09:44 97552d04.0 -> gd_bundle.crt

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 1743 Nov 21 12:26 slapd.key
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 1675 Nov 21 2010 slapd.pem
Back on the server side there is a lot of activity in the ldap logs
(here is an excerpt)
Nov 21 20:21:38 LBSD2 slapd[81972]: daemon: read activity on 11
Nov 21 20:21:38 LBSD2 slapd[81972]: daemon: select: listen=6

Nov 21 20:21:38 LBSD2 slapd[81972]: daemon: select: listen=7

conn=1017 sd=11 for close
Nov 21 20:21:38 LBSD2 slapd[81972]: daemon: activity on 1 descriptor
I've encloses a more complete log file as an attachment.
I then try to show the CA files with an openssl command.
First with sf_issuing.crt -
slapd.conf:
TLSCACertificateFile /usr/local/etc/openldap/cacerts/sf_issuing.crt
On the client:
[root@VIRTCENT08:/etc/openldap/cacerts]#openssl s_client -connect
ldap.summitnjhome.com:389 -showcerts -CAfile sf_issuing.crt
CONNECTED(00000003)
3143:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:s23_lib.c:188
Next with sf_bundle.crt -
slapd.conf:
TLSCACertificateFile /usr/local/etc/openldap/cacerts/sf_bundle.crt
[root@VIRTCENT08:/etc/openldap/cacerts]#openssl s_client -connect
ldap.summitnjhome.com:389 -showcerts -CAfile sf_bundle.crt
3149:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or
directory:bss_file.c:122:fopen('sf_bundle.crt','r')
3149:error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file:bss_file.c:125:
3149:error:0B084002:x509 certificate

CONNECTED(00000003)
3149:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake
failure:s23_lib.c:188:
Next with gd_bundle.crt -
TLSCACertificateFile /usr/local/etc/openldap/cacerts/gd_bundle.crt
[root@VIRTCENT08:/etc/openldap/cacerts]#openssl s_client -connect
ldap.summitnjhome.com:389 -showcerts -CAfile gd_bundle.crt
CONNECTED(00000003)
3156:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake
failure:s23_lib.c:188:
Disabling TLS on the client side authentication works again!
[root@VIRTCENT08:/etc/openldap/cacerts]#ssh bluethundr@localhost
bluethundr@localhost's password:

Any thought on how to resolve the current situation would be most
appreciated! ;)
