Add

    TLS_CACERT    /path/to/cacert.pem

to your ldap.conf

 

The client needs at least to have a copy of the server's CA certificate.

Subject: openldap and openssl

I'm trying to use ldaps, eventually with php but I'd like to see it
work with just the openldap clients first.

 

What file do I add config stuff for the client so that I can do

 

 ldapsearch -H ldaps://caldir-test

 

I'm not running slapd, just using the client software.  I can do

 

 ldapsearch -H ldap://caldir-test

 

and that works just fine.  When I use ldaps then I get complaints from
openssl, which I think are because it doesn't have the certificate or
key file (or whatever it is) I need for my ldap server.

 

(The ldap server is the Sun/iplanet one running on a different
machine.)
