Re: LDAPS connection failing with a "TLS accept failure error -1"

Hi Dieter,

Thanks for the reply,

This server was only for testing purposes, so, that's why I used a
self-signed certificate.

I got it working, the issue, as stupid as it is, was that I was editing the
wrong ldap.conf file (Mac OSX has one on /etc/openldap and other on
/opt/local/etc/openldap, which was the one being used).

Marcelo.

This is not the proper way to create a certificate chain.
1. create a certificate authority
2. create a server certificate
3. sign the server certificate with the CA
4. extract the password from server certificate into a key

You may use tinyCA to create the chain
