Have had a public facing OpenLDAP server setup pointing to Windows Server 2008 on the back end for auth. AD servers are being migrated to Server 2012 R2, and I see this error on the Windows side when OpenLDAP tries to authenticate to them:
"An TLS 1.2 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites supported by the client application are supported by the server. The SSL connection request has failed." "A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 40. The Windows SChannel error state is 1205." I've spent the last few days trying different configs, and reading Microsoft forums, and haven't been able to figure it out. Apparently MS changed the TLS configs with 2012R2 and it doesn't support a key length I am using. I've tried to disable TLS 1.2 on the OpenLDAP side using TLSCiperSuite in slapd.conf, but OpenLDAP fails to start with "main: TLS init def ctx failed: -1".
Disabling TLS 1.2 on the Windows Server "fixes" the issue... just not sure what AD functionality I may be breaking by doing this. Anyone else dealt with this?

Enabled some debug logging on the Windows Server side, and with TLS 1.2 disabled, I see that OpenLDAP is using CipherSuite 0x35, which corresponds to TLS_RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1 in GnuTLS. I've tried every way possible with slapd.conf, but I can't get slapd to start with the TLSCipherSuite config trying to disable all TLS1.2, or only enable TLS_RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1. What am I missing?

Your issue has nothing to do with OpenLDAP and has everything to do with GnuTLS and Windows Server 2012. You should read your GnuTLS docs to see which cipher suites it actually supports in TLS 1.2. And likewise on the Microsoft docs.
Setting the cipher suite doesn't have any effect at all on which protocol version the TLS library will attempt to use. It only affects which cipher suites it will attempt to use once a protocol level has been established.
