Just to make sure, can you pull the entire HEAD? =A0Thanks for checking, =

in

any case. =A0p.

I finally had the time to reproduce the issue using the cvs source code from HEAD. The following command was used to build OpenLDAP: -------------------------------- CPPFLAGS=3D"-I/home/openldap/software/include -D_AVL_H" \ LDFLAGS=3D"-L/home/openldap/software/lib -Wl,-rpath=3D/home/openldap/softwa= re/lib" \ ./configure --prefix=3D/home/openldap/software --enable-rewrite --enable-dn= ssrv \ --enable-ldap --enable-meta --enable-auditlog --enable-rwm --enable-sssvl= v \ --with-cyrus-sasl --with-tls=3Dopenssl --enable-bdb make depend; make; make install --------------------------------

The necessary SSL certificates are selfsigned: -------------------------------- openssl genrsa -out server1.key 2048 openssl req -new -key server1.key -x509 -days 365 -out server1.crt openssl genrsa -out server2.key 2048 openssl req -new -key server2.key -x509 -days 365 -out server2.crt --------------------------------

"server2" was started with the command: slapd -f /home/openldap/config/slapd.conf.server2 -h "ldaps://server2:6361" At this point I could already authenticate via SASL EXTERNAL using the ldapsearch command: LDAPTLS_CACERT=3Dserver2.crt LDAPTLS_CERT=3Dserver1.crt LDAPTLS_KEY=3Dserve= r1.key \ ldapsearch -H "ldaps://server2:6361" -b "" -s base -Y EXTERNAL 'objectcla= ss=3D*'

Now I started "server1": slapd -f /home/openldap/config/slapd.conf.server1 -h "ldap://server1:3891"

Searching with ldapsearch -H ldap://server1:3891 -b "dc=3Dserver2,dc=3Dexample,dc=3Dcom" -= x gives me no result, but the following output on server1's debug log (level = 1): -------------------------------- ldap_connect_to_host: Trying 127.0.0.1:6361 ldap_pvt_connect: fd: 9 tm: -1 async: 0 TLS trace: SSL_connect:before/connect initialization TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv2/v3 write client hello A TLS trace: SSL_connect:SSLv3 read server hello A TLS certificate verification: depth: 0, err: 18, subject: /C=3DAU/ST=3DSome-State/O=3DInternet Widgits Pty Ltd/CN=3Dserver2, issuer: /C=3DAU/ST=3DSome-State/O=3DInternet Widgits Pty Ltd/CN=3Dserver2 TLS certificate verification: Error, self signed certificate TLS trace: SSL3 alert write:fatal:unknown CA TLS trace: SSL_connect:error in SSLv3 read server certificate B TLS trace: SSL_connect:error in SSLv3 read server certificate B TLS: can't connect: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed (self signed certificate). conn=3D1000 op=3D1 meta_search_dobind_init[0]: retrying URI=3D"ldaps://server2:6361" DN=3D"". --------------------------------

And again: Starting "server1" with the environment variables and everything works fine= : LDAPTLS_CACERT=3Dserver2.crt LDAPTLS_CERT=3Dserver1.crt LDAPTLS_KEY=3Dserve= r1.key \ slapd -f /home/openldap/config/slapd.conf.server1 -h "ldap://server1:3891= "

I hope you can reproduce this issue using the information I provided. The configurations of both servers are attached below.
