Re: Reg OpenLdap on Ubuntu

Hi Dieter,

I understand. But my concern is if ssl was not enabled properly, then I should not be able to use -ZZ or ldaps url in commands like ldapsearch. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If ssl is enabled already, then I am unable to understand why ldaps doesn't work from apache point of view.

Regards

Apache doesn't know anything about slapd, all it does is, to connect
to a defined port and tries to verify the certificate presented and
establish a secured ldap session. If apache fails to verify the
certificate or is otherwise not able to establish a secured ldap
session it will not connect, unless the configuration allows to
establish an unsecured session.
