Hello, I'm trying to make from FreeBSD a LDAPsearch in some Novell eDirectory with the following command: $ ldapsearch -Z -H ldaps://romega:1027 -b 'ou=person,o=uni' -D 'cn=XXXXXXXXXX,ou=service,o=uni' -w XXXXXXXXXX ldap_start_tls: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) additional info: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed (self signed certificate in certificate chain) ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1) The credentials are fine and are working without any problem, for example from Windos clients (JXplore) or from a Java written client running on my laptop. Openssl can connect fine too. Any ideas what could be wrong? Btw: Someone here who managed to work JXplore in FreeBSD? There is an installer for it which can not find libstdc++.so.4 on my system (I have libstdc++.so.6).
