Hi,
I am looking into weather it is possible to do mutual client server
authentication with LDAP using certificates generated from openssl and I
have a few questions.
The server side of things seams fine. What I would like to know is would
it be possible to use a certificate for the client to authenticate
itself with the server.
I have been through the openLDAP documentation and I can't seem to find
any way to configure the client to use certificates. All I can find is
that the client authenticates its self with a dn and password.
If this is possible, some pointers on how to configure the client side
would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Laurence
