Hi,

I’m adding SSL to an existing openLDAP server. My certificate is a 2048 bit from Comodo and I need to install both the certificate and and the intermediate chain, 5 certificates altogether. I bundled the chain into a single file in the order Comodo lists and in slapd.conf I added:

TLSCACertificateFile /path/to/providerBundle.crt TLSCertificateFile /path/to/mycert.pem TLSCertificateKeyFile /path/to/mykey.pem

Then I restarted openLDAP. I have several different browsers to test the SSL connection, and mostly they all worked just fine. However, lbe, a java based browser that I think was originally from Novel, asks me if I want to trust the CA root certificate, which is the first cert in the CA bundle.

So, needless to say, I’m confused. Can anyone help unconfuse me?

Thanks.
