TLS bare minimum
by West, Jon (NIH/NIMH) [C]
I would like to set up TLS on our server. Looking through the
Administration guide, I am unsure if I need both server AND client
certificates. As I understand it I am supposed to first see if I can use
the command line tools to establish the TLS connection then attempt to
set up a client. So I have created a server certificate. I would like to
do this with a test system. The test server is running 2.0.27-22 and our
actual server runs 2.2.13-6.4E.. How can I be sure that I am getting an
encrypted connection. I am also unsure of how to use LDAP search since
whenever I do use it I get errors but when I verify the contents of our
directory with other software I can see the things I'm looking for.
Again this is a question about LDAPsearch, not the other software. I
have a user called tester in my dc=test,dc=com test server (Is it a
problem that I use test.com when the machine is not on that domain?)
what would be the command to get the LDAP information about tester?
