Sorry for confusion, "server clients certs" means generating certs for client. These are exact same steps from the Redhat manuals. 

This works if I copy this cacert.asc file to my client machines. But how to get clients both on two LDAP servers ? As an example, if I specify both ldap server names say ldap01.net ldap02.net and if one goes down it will try to get the authentication work from the secondary one.

What am I doing is, Generating the cacert.asc from one server and importing it to the second server and copying the same cacert.asc across all the client machines.

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this setup. I have would
like to have 2 ldap servers specified on the clients using SSSD.

Without TLS/Encryption (PAD NSS) it works just fine, however, the moment
I turn on TLS/StratTLS only one server works whereas other does not and
gives the "Certification Not trusted" error.

Here what I did.

certutil -S -n "CA certificate" -s "cn=My Org CA cert,dc=my,dc=net" -2
-x -t "CT,," -m 1000 -v 120 -d . -k rsa -f /tmp/pwdfile

# Generate Directory server clients certs
certutil -S -n "Server-Cert" -s "cn=ldap.my.net <http://ldap.my.net>" -c

"CA certificate" -t "u,u,u" -m 1001 -v 120 -d . -k rsa -f /tmp/pwdfile

Not sure what you mean by "server clients certs" here.  This is the server cert for this server.  I would think the subject name should just be "ldap.my.net", but maybe this form works too.  You also need to do this on your second server using its DNS name.


# Export it for ldap clients and other servers
certutil -d . -L -n "CA certificate" -a > cacert.asc

Then I imported the same cacert.asc file to another 389 server using
"certutil". And copied it at the client as well.

I would see the certificate got imported in the GUI console but due to
some reason everytime I query from the client to secondary server (where
I imported the key) it just does not work.

Would appreciate any help. Not sure what step I am using or what am I
doing wrong.
