Hi all, I'm running version 2.4.49 on Ubuntu 20.04. I've been unable to add the olcTLSCipherSuite configuration attribute.
# ldapmodify -H ldapi:// -Y EXTERNAL -f set-ciphersuite.ldif
returns:
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth SASL SSF: 0 modifying entry "cn=config" ldap_modify: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80)
set-ciphersuite.ldif contains the following:
dn: cn=config changetype: modify add: olcTLSCipherSuite olcTLSCipherSuite: ALL
The openldap packages in Ubuntu use GnuTLS as the TLS library, not OpenSSL. Therefore the value of olcTLSCipherSuite has to be a GnuTLS priority string, not an OpenSSL cipher list.
