Yeah -- So what I did is drop cacert.asc under /tmp/ldap/certs for testing purposes.  I then added a line "TLS_CACERTDIR /tmp/ldap/certs" to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf.  The logs on the directory server (and from adding a -d 1 option to ldapsearch) indicated that the client was rejecting the certificate.  So I used certutil with cacert.asc to create the cert8.db and key3.db files under /tmp/ldap/certs (I now have cacert.asc, cert8.db, key3.db, and secmod.db under that directory).  Same result.  Then I went back to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and set "TLS_REQCERT never", and commented out the cacertdir directive.  With that configuration, ldapsearch works with the -ZZ options.  So for some reason, it isn't liking my CA cert, and I'm not sure why.

Did you install ca.cert on system and setup /etc/openldap/ldap.conf ?

Hi, I've been struggling to setup 389 Directory server with Start TLS.

I have a multi-master replication working with four server.  From an external client running openldap's ldapsearch, I'm trying to do the following:

ldapsearch -ZZ -x -h "myserver" -b "dc=example,dc=com" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W ""

I get an unsupported protocol error on servers that do not have certificates installed.

In an attempt to resolve this, I tried to install a self-signed cert.  I created a ca.cert and a server.crt, and imported them into the Directory Server.  I then imported the ca.cert to the admin server.  When I attempted to import the same server.crt to the admin server, I got an error message stating the certificate was for another host.  Since the admin server and directory server reside on the same host, if I generate a new request, it will have an identical host name (I'm not sure if that's relevant to my issue).  After all of that, I now receive a "Connect Error SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed".  I'm guessing I need to import the root cert onto the client somehow, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

This has become pretty time consuming, so I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable could confirm that I'm at least travelling down the right path.  I've been following this Red Hat document:

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/html/Administration_Guide/Managing_SSL.html#Starting_the_Server_with_SSL_Enabled-Enabling_SSL_in_the_DS_Admin_Server_and_Console

Thanks,
Kyle
