Hi,
With FDS 1.0.2, I've followed the configuration howto guide lines
to setup the Directory Server to use SSL (as per my post a few days
ago) however after configuring the Administration Server and
Console to use SSL as well i've run into trouble. The directory
server alone works fine with SSL.
The reason i'm trying to get Admin and console working in SSL is so
i can setup a secure windows sync agreement, without this all i can
do is setup a insecure sync agreement.
But you don't have to get Admin and console working with SSL in
order to set up a windows sync agreement with SSL. Do the docs say
you have to do this? If so, where?
No the docs don't say that explicitly but when setting up a windows
sync agreement it doesn't give you the option of changing the
supplier - it is set to "ds01.tech:389".
That's just the label it uses for that particular server in the
console. It really uses ldaps if you configure it to, even though it
shows the non-secure port for the label in the console. This is
merely used to identify the server. This is a well known source of
confusion.
OK, it is confusing thanks for clearing that up.
The Windows side of the connection is fine as i can specify the
connection details. I was following the guide at
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/sync.html#2859728
and the image under "step 6" indicates the supplier should be
configured as port 636.
I am new to this, so i may have got confused but i thought passwords
won't be syncronised unless the FDS supplier and the Windows AD
Server are set to use SSL/636. I also realise password changes won't
be synced unless passsync is installed and configured on the AD side,
but right now thats not necessary as i just want to get basics working.
You can use passsync without SSL for testing purposes, but do not do
this in production.
The console will not display anything (absolutely no screen or
anything) after entering password and clicking OK in the
authentication dialog. There are no messages in the console i
started it on.
startconsole -D will give you debug information, and startconsole -D
9 will give you everything.
Before i configured the SSL on the admin server and console it was
working correctly and displayed the normal Admin server/Directory
Server screens.
The console which i'm running using (i also tried admin user):
startconsole -u "cn=Directory Manager" -a https://ds01.tech:59910
-x nologo
I turned loglevel to debug in the admin server and this is what i see:

This looks ok, except for the log shows port 443 and you are using
port 59910.
Is there a way to fix this? If i'm using https that implies 443 but
specifying the port 59910, which has precedence - i assume the the
port. If i use http and port 59910 the console with debug shows the
server fails to respond:
Right. https tells it to use HTTP over SSL, and the port specifies
which port the server is listening on. When you configure the Admin
Server to use SSL, you can no longer use HTTP - you must use HTTPS.
The admin server doesn't listen to both a non-secure port and a secure
port, as does the directory server.

With https, i get to through the authentication stage at least.
In the slapd log i see:
[28/Nov/2006:14:22:46 +0000] conn=51 fd=65 slot=65 SSL connection

This looks like the /admin-serv/authenticate request as logged in
the admin server.

This looks like the console is attempting to use ldap on the ldaps
port. I think you need to tell the console to use SSL when talking
to this directory server -
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:SSL#Using_the_command_line
I ran through that part of the howto, here is the output below and as
you can see " nsServerSecurity" is set to on (i assume this is the
bit you mean?) -
Yes. So now attempt to restart the admin server and restart the
console, using the https:// URL.
Sorry maybe i didn't make this clear. I had already done this and
restarted the admin server and i'm using the https URL. I'm stuck at
this point. The logs i copied in earlier are from a server configured in
this state. This is where console does not open after the authentication
attempt.
