Hi all I am having a problem in connection to an SSL enabled ldap server. In localhost is easily connects to the ldap server with SSL but if try to connect remotely then it cannot bind to ldap server but can connect. In the slapd.conf I added the 3 lines to enable SSL TLSCACertificateFile /usr/local/openssl/misc/demoCA/cacert.pem TLSCertificateFile /usr/local/openssl/misc/server-cert.pem TLSCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/openssl/misc/server-key.pem and then restarted the ldap which is also working in 636 port. Currently its working in default port without SSL but whenever use the ssl then it gives the message : "Could not bind to ldap database" I have installed the rpms and in phpinfo there is a --with-ssl option too. Though I have generated the CA and server certificates with compiled openssl. Here is ldapconnect code; <?php // Ldap bind user credentials $LDAP_Auth_User = "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"; $LDAP_Auth_PWD = "password"; // Connecting to ldap server $ldapconnect = ldap_connect ("ldaps://dc.example.com") or die ("Cannot Connect to OpenLDAP Server"); // Checking whether ldap connection is successful if ($ldapconnect) { $bindldap = ldap_bind($ldapconnect,$LDAP_Auth_User, $LDAP_Auth_PWD) or die ("Could not bind to LDAP Database"); } ?> Any idea.
