Hello,

I have configured LDAP server on linux with TLS support and was able to fetch data from it using the ldapsearch utility. However, when i tried to do this searching via code i got following errors:

Error at Server Side:

slap_listener_activate(10):

Failure of LDAP bind -1-Can't contact LDAP server [root@localhost LDAP1]#

Snippet of client code for TLS support used by Me:

ldap_set_option( ld, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, &version );

ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CACERTFILE, "/root/cacert.pem"); ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CERTFILE, "/usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.client.pem"); ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_KEYFILE, "/usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.client.key.pem"); ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS , LDAP_OPT_ON); val = LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_ALLOW; ldap_set_option (ld, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS, &val);

status = ldap_start_tls_s(ld, NULL, NULL);

Please let me know as to what is missing in my code that is triggering the above errors. Also if there are any sample TLS client code, please let me know where can i get it.

Thanks,
