RE: Pls help: ldap_start_tls_s fails

["ST Wong \(ITSC\)" <st-wong@cuhk.edu.hk>]

Hi all,

I wrote a simple program that calls ldap_start_s on an HP-UX 11.00 with OpenLDAP 2.1.29.  I put following lines in ldap.conf:

TLS_CACERT /usr/local/etc/openldap/cacert.pem
TLS_REQCERT allow


The program always fails with error: "ldap_start_tls failed: Connect error (91)".   Ssldump on openldap server shows following:

However, "ldapsearch -ZZ" on the same machine works.  Same results obtained when I tried different LDAP servers (OpenLDAP and SunDS).

 

Please help.  Thanks a lot.
