Folks, I have been fighting along getting some Solaris 10 nodes (both SPARC and x86) to talk via TLS/SSL to our OpenLDAP infrastructure. Without SSL (tls:simple) it binds and functions fine which in my mind rules out most of the usual culprits. As for the certificates, I have verified connectivity with the certificate via openssl s_client -connect <fqdn> -CAfile <cacert> -showcerts but I cannot get the correct version/combination of certutil to setup the appropriate keystore (cert[78].db, key3.db and secmod.db) and make the native SUN ldapsearch or native ldapclient work correctly.

Any suggestions? Thanks Ben
