Hi there,
Are there any restrictions on the DN or other attributes of credentials used for LDAP authentication?
We are using grid credentials (X509 format) with DNs like this:
issuer= /C=CA/O=Grid/CN=Grid Canada Certificate Authority subject= /C=CA/O=Grid/CN=host/somehost.somedomain.ca
When I use some grid certs (X509 format) I see this message in the debug output from slapd:
connection_read(10): unable to get TLS client DN error=49 id=3
When I try to connect, I get this:
ldap_initialize( ldaps://somehost.somedomain.ca ) ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server
The openssl command to create a connection works OK:
CONNECTED(00000003) --- Certificate chain 0 s:/C=CA/O=Grid/CN=host/somehost.somedomain.ca i:/C=CA/O=Grid/CN=Grid Canada Certificate Authority 1 s:/C=CA/O=Grid/CN=Grid Canada Certificate Authority i:/C=CA/O=Grid/CN=Grid Canada Certificate Authority --- Server certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- subject=/C=CA/O=Grid/CN=host/somehost.somedomain.ca issuer=/C=CA/O=Grid/CN=Grid Canada Certificate Authority --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 2083 bytes and written 320 bytes --- New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is DES-CBC3-SHA Server public key is 1024 bit SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1 Cipher : DES-CBC3-SHA Session-ID: 43B46528E848663E7C8E9CAAEA4E6DB5E4A9675C05C3066DBD826CD1CF59A566 Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: A8245A0731BA98F0D88821346432868C392FEE3F23EAFB9F356A34CB6BB663FC0892374118F280D6284C8E2ACAC3 Key-Arg : None Start Time: 1251330160 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 0 (ok)
When I use certs created by us with another DN format such as this:
subject= /C=CA/ST=Province/L=Town/O=Organization/OU=Unit/CN=somehost.somedomain.ca/emailAddress=email@somewhere.ca issuer= /C=CA/ST=Province/O=Organization/OU=Town/CN=Our CA/emailAddress=email@somewhere.ca
And then make no other changes to the config other than pointing everything to the new commands I can make a connection.
Any suggestions? Please advise.
