The server uses the openldap client libraries for replication connections. Setting
nsslapd-ssl-check-hostname sets these flags on the connection as follows:
For server authentication it sets this flag:
LDAPSSL_AUTH_CNCHECK --> This checks the hostname in the certificate subject to
that of the host
For SSL client auth it sets this flag:
LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_HARD
Okay so it does more than is documented, now I get it.
So the issue here is either openldap is not finding the correct
hostname, or the hostname in the certificate subject is wrong.
As I stated previously, my domain name and cert is good. Even the reverse dns record is
correct.
I tried replacing the certificate with an incorrect one (with invalid CN) and the error
displayed in log is the very same. So yes, it looks like “something” does not match (but
what?)
Connecting to ldap server itself works, even openssl s_client verifies the server cert ok
(including the chain, what was a nice surprise to me).
Just to be clear: I’m using my own root CA, with an intermediate CA which issued cert for
CN=ldap-master-b01.example.com and
CN=ldap-master-b02.example.com
<
http://ldap-master-b02.example.com/>. Both are imported into certstore with
nickname “CN=ldap-master-b0[12]” (including the “CN=“).
In cn=RSA,cn=encryption,cn=config, I use
nsSSLPersonalitySSL='CN=ldap-master-b[01].example.com’.
I tried changing the errorlog-level as you suggested, but I got no better message than...
