Hi there,

I'm using:

slapd -V
@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.21 (Mar 30 2011 18:32:32) $

 buildd@rothera:/build/buildd/openldap-2.4.21/debian/build/servers/slapd

cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS \n \l


This is Ubuntu so openldap has been compiled with GnuTLS

ldd /usr/sbin/slapd
   .
   .
   .
   libgnutls.so.26 => /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.26 (0xb73a9000)
   .
   .
   .


I've been following this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html
and the section on TLS works perfectly if I follow the
instructions to the letter.

That is, so long as the locations of olcTLSCACertificateFile,
olcTLSCertificate and olcTLSCertificateKeyFile are /etc/ssl/certs,
/etc/ssl/certs and /etc/ssl/private respectively, then slapd will
start.  For example:

olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/ldap01_slapd_cert.pem
olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/ssl/private/ldap01_slapd_key.pem

However, if I change the location of any of these files slapd will
fail to start with the error "TLS init def ctx failed: -1".

Should anyone ask, yes I've doubled checked for correct file
permissions and searched for typos.  The names of the files does
not matter, just their location.

These appears to be bug to me.

Warren.

Hi, check your AppArmor configuration. I had same problem some times ago. You have to add that dirs to apparmor-slapd conf and reload app armor rules.

Hope this helps Marco

It was AppArmor.

Thanks heaps for that tip.
