probably should only use uri and not host in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
yep, I can take that out....
And it's clear that
ldap.vuw.ac.nz != cn=vuwunicvfdsm001.vuw.ac.nz (certificate)
Sorry I fail to see it as that clear (until now you explain it
anyway!)
....Working through the FDS/RDS documentation I seem to have failed to
notice that it clearly (if at all???) explains what cn= should equal
or
indeed the setting in the ldap.conf needs to be the same....in terms
of
DNS they do equal as ldap is a CNAME of vuwunicvfdsm001....
The advantage of using a CNAME is I can upgrade the system and to a
simple CNAME change to replace the servers....
Thanks, I have changed,
#uri ldap://ldap.vuw.ac.nz/
To,
uri ldap://vuwunicvfdsm001.vuw.ac.nz/
So I now have for /etc/openldap/ldap.conf,
==========
#
http://www.padl.com
#URI ldap://ldap.vuw.ac.nz
base dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz
pam_password md5
BASE dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz
#tls_cacertfile /etc/openldap/cacerts/ca.crt
#TLS_REQCERT allow
TLS_REQCERT never
#host ldap.vuw.ac.nz
#host vuwunicvfdsm001.vuw.ac.nz
#ssl start_tls
#nss_base_passwd ou=People,dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz
#nss_base_shadow ou=People,dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz
uri ldap://vuwunicvfdsm001.vuw.ac.nz/
#uri ldap://ldap.vuw.ac.nz/
ssl no
tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts
=========
and a working ldapsearch,
ldapsearch -x -ZZ '(uid=jonesst1)'
Gives me the correct answer....
----
just a thought (and it may be in the cert documentation for fds)
sometimes you can use subjectAltName to add more names/aliases for the
same system and then there isn't the collision when using the
certificate. I know that the openldap client software is fine with
subjectAltName entries
Lastly, you probably can add to both /etc/ldap.conf
and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
ssl start_tls
and it should automatically use tls...
ldapsearch -x '(uid=jonesst1)' would be the same as if you added -ZZ
