Fedora directory users - May 2008 - Directory server connection problems after enabling TLS

Hi.


I''ve just set up an Red Hat Directory Server, and it was working fine
until
I enabled SSL/TLS. The LDAP server and my test LDAP client should be set up
correctly according to the manual, but I seem to have missed something.

Since enabling TLS I''m no longer allowd to log onto my LDAP client. The
error messeage says "Connection closed by 127.0.0.1".

However, when issuing the command "ldapsearch -x -H
''ldaps://<ldap-server>''"
the query is successful.

I''ve installed a CA signed server certificate on the LDAP server, and
installed the CA certificate on the LDAP client.

As I''m quite new to LDAP I could use som advice on how to debug this.
Thanks
in advance.

Regards,
kenneho

Solved!

Turns out that I had used the LDAP server''s ip-address instead of
it''s FQDN
when configuring the client. This is apperantly not correct according to
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2830.txt section 3.6

So the solution was simply to issue "authconfig-tui", and replace the
LDAP
server''s IP address with it''s FQDN.
