Hi, Ahhhh, I made good notes as I went along and I think can see my error, ============7. Generate the server certificate: ../shared/bin/certutil -S -n "Server-Cert" -s \"cn=vuw.ac.nz" -c "CA certificate" -t "u,u,u" -m 1001 -v \ 120 -d . -z noise.txt -f pwdfile.txt ============ cn should have been "vuwunicvfdsm001.vuw.ac.nz" and not "vuw.ac.nz"..... RHAS4 cannot check too closely as it seems to be working, for Debian and RHAS5 not.... So, if I have multiple LDAP [master] servers each LDAP server's key needs installing on the client?
No, only the CA cert. An SSL client only needs the CA cert.
Slaves as well?
Each server will need its own server cert and key, and the CA cert.
I though of a DNS issue but that looks OK.

In step 7 of the linked instructions, it says to use certutil .... -s cn=server-cert - this will cause clients to fail to validate the cert. Instead, you must use the fully qualified domain name of your server host as the value of the cn attribute in the subject DN. For example, ifyour directory server hostname is foo.example.com, use ../shared/bin/certutil -S -n "Server-Cert" -s cn=foo.example.com -c "CA certificate" \ -t "u,u,u" -m 1001 -v 120 -d . -z noise.txt -f pwdfile.txtto generate your server cert. This is the minimum. You may wish to provide your clients with more details about your server. For more information, see RFC 1485 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1485.txt>. You could choose to specify the subject DN like this:../shared/bin/certutil ... -s "cn=foo.example.com,ou=engineering,o=example corp,c=us" ... </quote>Note that this also means that if you use cn=foo.example.com, clients must be able to resolve the server's IP address to "foo.example.com". Ifyou don't care/can't do this, then use TLS_REQCERT never in your /etc/openldap/ldap.conf to make ldapsearch stop complaining. I highly recommend you do not do this though.regards Steven-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users-- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
