Re: OpenSSL usage?

["Jim Hud" <jdhz@btinternet.com>]

I am missing something,  using the slapd.conf entries that you gave me

The bare minimum:
TLSCertificateFile  /path/to/server/certificate.pem
TLSCertificateKeyFile /path/to/server/privatekey.pem
TLSCACertificateFile /path/to/certificateAuthority/certificate.pem

using Outlook Express 5 with SSL I get

 do_bind: v3 unknown authentication method

and using ldapsearch

DSA is unavailable

Any ideas?
