Hello Mr. Brown,
I found that the procedure you give me is part of my problem. I ended up with
running remove-ds-admin.pl command then re-create my directory server instance
and admin server instance. Luckily I kept answers file and ldif data. I also
re-run the setupssl2.sh script. Since this time I didn't mess up with
environment variables, it did go through successfully.
You should not have needed to do that.
I also did go through your procedure, and successfully run the
ldapsearch
command. However, how do I know "ldapsearch -x -L -b
'dc=christianbook,dc=com'"
uses secure connection or not? I tail my access log, and it shows something
like below:
[12/Apr/2016:21:24:47 -0400] conn=46 op=0 EXT oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.20037"

It did say "Peer does not recognize and trust the CA that issued your
certificate." However, it did return 103 entries for the ldapsearch. I don't
understand that. Is the secure connection successfully established or is it
actually failed back to non-secure connection?
If you look in the ldap client config, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, you likely have
TLS_REQCERT set to NEVER or ALLOW. This means it checks the CA, but will not fail
on an verification failure.
So it is a "secure" connection, but the client hasn't validated the CA.
