* In my opinion, the use of the idassert-bind parameter allows the proxy server to use its own certificate for authentication and to transmit its DN via SASL EXTERNAL to the backend server. * The TLS options in this parameter specify the paths to the certificates (CERT,KEY,CA) to be used.
And you're right, it's used directly by idassert-bind, but your openldap client may not be properly configured when you're testing, this is why I suggested to add a ldaprc file to ensure your tests are relevants. You have noticed I copied parameters from it.
Validating that it's ok with the client let you eliminate the backend side configuration issues, so you can focus on the proxy configuration then.
As noted by Quanah, OpenLDAP 2.4 is quite old, you'd better swith to a 2.5 or 2.6. ________________________________ De : fred750164@gmail.com fred750164@gmail.com Envoyé : lundi 20 janvier 2025 20:00 À : openldap-technical@openldap.org openldap-technical@openldap.org Objet : RE: ldap proxy

My interpretation may not be correct.
