Hi,

I ran the command "slapd -d 16383" and attached is the output of the same in case it may prove to be useful.

In this output, ldap-company.com.crt is server.crt as defined in in my earlier mails. I have changed it to try some luck, but it was fruitless.

Hi Matt,

I created the certificates following the procedure defined in https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html

I created a CA and signed the certificate as defined the steps.

The ownership is of openldap:openldap for cacert.pem and server.crt and openldap:ssl-cert for server.key.

rwx permission is 644 for all the three.


Thanks for the reply.

How did you create the certificates?  Can slapd read them?

Hi All,

I am currently busy configuring OpenLdap on my newly installed Ubuntu 9.04.

Here is what I have done till now.

I followed the steps defined in https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html and installation was successful. I installed PhpLdapAdmin also.

After I created certificate, key etc, I created a .ldif file (enable-ca.ldif) with the following content :

dn: cn=config
add: olcTLSCACertificateFile
olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
-
add: olcTLSCertificateFile
olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
-
add: olcTLSCertificateKeyFile
olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/ssl/private/server.key


Then I executed the command :

ldapmodify -D "cn=admin,cn=config" -x -w 12345678 -f enable-ca.ldif

and it was a success.

But after this, when I tried to restart slapd, I got errors like the following :

main: TLS init def ctx failed: -1

I noticed that after I executed "ldapmodify -D "cn=admin,cn=config" -x -w 12345678 -f enable-ca.ldif", 3 lines are added to /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif and when I commented the last two lines like the following,  slapd started successfully.

olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
#olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
#olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/ssl/private/server.key


This looks quite strange.

Please help me resolving the same.
