RE: OpenLDAP client test program connecting to LDAP server over SSL failed

It failed because of this error: ldap_sasl_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) error:14090086:SSL routines: SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Hi Daisy,

I have noticed that sometimes depending on the version of OpenSSL you are linking the LDAP libraries to, it will throw this error. So what I did was: -- create an environment variable LDAPCONF -- create a file called ldap_ssl_cert_config and placed the following line in it: TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/pki/tls -- ran my program

Then it worked and I did not get the error anymore. Hope this helps.

cheers,

Ven
