That says nothing about whether or not your configuration is secure.
Again, if it is "ldap://" with the startTLS LDAPv3 extension, and you've
configured it be required that it succeed, then it is secure. You've not
provided the information that would be necessary to make such a
determination. I would again advise reading the slapd-config(5) man page
for the olcSyncRepl attribute, specifically the bits on the starttls,
tls_cacert/tls_cacertdir, tls_cipher_suite, and tls_protocol_min
configuration parameters.
You may also want to set olcSecurity (A value of "ssf=1" requires any and
all connections to the server be encrypted). Changing this value from the
default requires a server restart for it to go into effect.

Those look like protocol versions, not cipher suites. ;)

For SASL SCRAM support, you'll need to compile the OpenLDAP server and
client utilities against cyrus sasl 2.1.25. And/or you can use SSL/STARTTLS to
protect the authentication exchange. SASL SCRAM requires that you perform
SASL authentication from your LDAP clients, and not simple authentication.
An alternative to SCRAM that is supported in older versions of cyrus sasl
is DIGEST-MD5.
>But I believe only 1 method can be used by SASL External?
Neither pass-through authentication nor SCRAM really have anything to do
with SASL EXTERNAL. SASL EXTERNAL might come into play if you're performing
STARTTLS with client certificates.

Specifically with regards to SCRAM (or DIGEST-MD5), you will need to store
your passwords in clear text. See:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201110/msg00168.html
The meta backend is not necessary to support either pass-through
authentication nor local SCRAM authentication. In what scenario are you
looking to use the meta backend?

Which PAM ldap module are you using? with PADL's module, you'd want to
configure 'ssl on' (for ldaps:///) or 'ssl starttls' (for starttls over
ldap:///) and also configure the tls_* settings appropriately.
For your slapd configuration, see the slapd.conf manpage - the TLS*
options, as well as the 'security' option. If you are wishing to perform
secure connections over ldaps:///, verify that in your slapd init script,
that you are passing 'ldaps:///' as one of your '-h' command line
parameters.

Hello !
Thanks for your reply. I just upgraded the preproduction environment
provider and consumers to the jessie-backports version. I will check the
prod to preprod injections during the next days then let you know.
Have a good weekend !

Yes, you need to configure path to CA cert.

Interesting. Is "-q" implemented after 2.4.9? It's not supported by my
installation.
My man page says: "-Z[Z] Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended
operation. If you use -ZZ, the command will require the operation to be
successful."
Which is what I did.
Thanks,

Hi Hauke,
I still can't get TLS to work. Here is the error message.

Hi Dat,
first of all: Please send your questions to the list so that
other users with the same problem can find the solution, too.
To your problem: Please make sure that you have a correct
value for your ServerCA's private key in your openssl.cnf. It
should read something like this:
[ ServerCA ]
# Where is the base directory for the ServerCA
dir = /usr/lib/ssl/ServerCA
# Where is the ServerCA's certificate
certificate = $dir/ServerCA.cert.pem
# and where is the ServerCA's private key
private_key = $dir/private/ServerCA.key.pem
Without the private key, the ServerCA will not be
able to sign your LDAP certificate. You will find more
configuration hints for openssl.cnf in the tutorial.
Hope this helps,
Hauke

Hi Hauke,
I read your instruction on how to create Root CA ...I have a hard time understanding the step. I have a question on how to sign the ldap server certificated using Server CA? I get an error message:
bash-3.00# openssl ca -name ServerCA -in afldap01.req.pem -out afldap01.cert.pem
Using configuration from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf
variable lookup failed for ServerCA::private_key

I have setup two ldap servers for authentication and access control in a multi-master configuration. I am concerned about the number of contextcsn entries that are supposed to be present in each database. Right now there are two servers participating in the multi-master configuration. From my understanding, there should be one contextCSN entry per database per host. My cn=config database has two contextCSN entries as I would expect. One for each syncrepl rid configured. My bdb database only has one contextCSN entry though, with an rid of just "000". (my rid's are 001, 002, 101, and 102)
Replication seems to work fine on both databases. I can write to either one and the changes are replicated over immediately. I am just curious about this discrepancy in the number of contextCSN entries. Could someone confirm the number of contextCSN entries per database and if it should match the number of hosts participating in the multi-master replication? Here are some relevant settings for the replication:
