RE: Last attempt at TLS/SSL
Howard Chu just reminded me of a possibility ... grasping at straws ... are
you putting the OpenLDAP client settings in the OpenLDAP ldap.conf? I know
I have two separate ldap.conf files that I must keep straight.
The only other thing I can think of is correct path (punctuation esp.) to
the certs as listed in your conf files.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Kent

Hi Kent - doesn't look like a permissions issue to me
as the CA cert (and all the directories above it, in my
case /var/tmp/certs) are all world readable.
Here is some extra info, all the lines I have turned on
in my slapd.conf file and also ldap.conf:
slapd.conf:
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/solaris.schema
pidfile /usr/local/var/slapd.pid
argsfile /usr/local/var/slapd.args
loglevel 9
TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv2
TLSCertificateFile /var/tmp/certs/ldapcert.pem
TLSCertificateKeyFile /var/tmp/certs/ldapkey.pem
TLSCACertificateFile /var/tmp/certs/demoCA/cacert.pem

ldap.conf:

nss_base_shadow ou=People,dc=webtech,dc=com?one
ssl yes
TLS_CACERT /var/tmp/certs/demoCA/cacert.pem
I see the same problem if I change over to port 389 and
don't run ldaps, but instead use "ssl start_tls". Although
when I use that, I can't even get openssl to verify the
cert. I'm agnostic as to using ldaps or ldap and TLS,
which ever would actually work would be fine.
And I actually have a copy of your how to printed out sitting
on my desk right now that I have been using it as a reference
and am wondering why openldap hates me so much because this
seems like it should be fairly easy to make work.

Hi Mike,
"So there's one piece of software, openssl, saying "your cert is cool".
Now
if I try to run ldapsearch
and pass it -H "ldaps://wp-app-3.webtech.com", it will fail with this
error:
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (81)
additional info: error:14090086:SSL
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed"
I had this same error after I upgraded my versions of OpenLDAP and
Cyrus-SASL recently and did not create new certs that were used in the
previous setup.
Without creating new certs I got around this by copying the server CA cert
to the client box because I was missing the old client CA cert. On the
client, TLS_REQCERT was "demand" in ldap.conf and a missing CA cert caused
the cert verification to fail. Even though you state you set the client
and server certs to the same cert, you might have a permission problem on
the client side. A CA cert should be globally readable anyway.
Check permissions on all certs and keys.
Check all config files (slapd.conf, ldap.conf, and ldaprc/.lpaprc if you
have one) for the set values and for directives that are set (but unlisted)
by default.
If all else fails, give
"http://www.openldap.org/pub/ksoper/OpenLDAP_TLS_howto.html"; a quick read,
especially the configuration section.
"I've tried turning on tls_checkpeer"
I think this is an old and unused directive. It's not in the OpenLDAP
2.1.21 man pages anymore.
Cheers,
Kent
