-Z doesn't force TLS, it only tries to start it.  -ZZ forces TLS.  I don't
see any TLS handshake output in the slapd log so I don't think it's being
used.

Cheers,
Kent Soper

Greetings,
            I am having trouble connecting to my OpenLDAP Server utilizing
TLS.  First, here is the info for my setup:

Server:
RHLinux 7.2
Kernel 2.4.18-18.7.x
Openldap-2.1.17
Db-4.1.25
Openssl-0.9.6b

Client:
RHLinux 7.2
Kernel 2.4.18-18.7.x
Nss_ldap-207
Pam_ldap-161
Openssl-0.9.6b

I have created the certificates and key on the server and added the
corresponding entries to the slapd.conf, I also have my ACL set to access
to * by * read.  On my client I have the basic host and base entries plus
ssl start_tls in the ldap.conf.  My nssswitch.conf is set to select from
files first and then ldap for passwd, shadow and group.  I have not changed
any entries in /etc/pam.d/ yet.

What I believe is happening is that my client is not doing a
simple/anonymous bind with I have ssl start_tls set in the ldap.conf, I
think it is trying to do a SASL bind.  My reasoning for this is that when I
try to do ldapsearch -v -Z -b "dc=myserver,dc=net" "(objectclass=*)" I get
the error of:

ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
ldap_start_tls: Success
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error

And no data is transferred.  The –Z forces it to use TLS but it tries to
utilize SASL also.  But if I do ldapsearch -v -Z -x -b "dc=myserver,dc=net"
"(objectclass=*)" I get:

ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
ldap_start_tls: Success
filter: (objectclass=*)
requesting: ALL
version: 2

And all the data is transferred.  The –Z forces it to use TLS but the –x
forces it to do a simple bind.

If I try to use something that will utilize the ldap.conf file on the
client, like getent passwd, nothing is transferred if I have the ssl
start_tls set.  If I turn it off, communication works fine and all data
requested is transferred but not encrypted.

I cannot find where in the ldap.conf you can force it to use simple binds
and I cannot find anything online about it.  Does anyone know how to do
this?  Or am I looking at this the wrong way?  Please help.

Example data taken from the slapd.log file on the server is attached here.

When I test the connection from the client utilizing ldapsearch -v -Z -x -b
"dc=myserver,dc=net" "(objectclass=*)" I successfully receive all the info
from my server and the data is transferred across the wire encrypted and
this is what I get in the slapd.log, I have removed unnecessary extra info:
