ssl handshake failure

[kxiluri@email.arizona.edu]

Dear all,

i have been experimenting with Ldap for 2 months now.
I had a test RedHat V4 linux workstation 32-bit where i downloaded the most
recent
Red Hat rpms and installed openldap and made it work with SSL.
The clients are 7 iMACs running OSX 10.4. The recommended tests
went fine for the most part (expect i cant change user passwds).
But i had some very happy users, being able to make the best
of both  worlds.

Then i decided to install LDAP with the same procedure on the
production server, again RH V4, Enterprise 64-bit.
While i could get it to work with out SSL, i am having hard time
enabling SSL.
On the linux ldap server when i do:

openssl s_client -connect localhost:636 -showcerts -state -CAfile
/usr/share/ssl/certs/slapd.pem

i get
CONNECTED(00000003)
SSL_connect:before/connect initialization
SSL_connect:SSLv2/v3 write client hello A
18203:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake
failure:s23_lib.c:226:

i get the same result with the ldap service stopped on started.

I have used the same slapd.conf file in both cases. THe rpms are
the same, the ssl rpms are the same from what i can tell the cyrus-sasl
is the same.

Could anyone shed some light here? That would be mostly appreciated.

Many thanks
