Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade an openLdap server from FC9 (openldap-servers-2.4.10-2.fc9.i386) to Redhat Enterprise 6 (openldap-servers-2.4.23-15.el6.x86_64). In this new setup, my local database works but the Syncrepl replication process fails to establish the "ldaps://" session to my syncrepl-providers because the TLS layer fails. Indeed, the TLS layer complains that my _server's certificate_ isn't a valid _client certificate_ (with error 8101 - SEC_ERROR_INADEQUATE_CERT_TYPE): but I don't want client-side authentication!

In the past syncrepl didn't try to use the server certificate as a client certificate, and I haven't seen any reference to this in the documentation. I first thought it could have been related to ITS#6791 but I don't think so anymore because it only affects Syncrepl.

Don' hesitate to redirect me to the openldap-users list if I've missed something simple.

Thanks in advance, Thibault
