No, the server installation is not modified or touched in any way - the LDAP server (1.4.3) is installed on a separate server (called "ldap-model", CentOS 8.2) and never restarted or reconfigured. The instance of LDAP is installed only there and yes, i used during the installation the ds* utilities : dsctl model tls import-server-key-cert model_cert.crt model_cert.key dsconf model security ca-certificate add --file intermedite-1.crt --name "CA-Intermediate-1" dsconf model security ca-certificate set-trust-flags "CA-Intermediate-1" --flags "CT,," ... The server is accessible with ldapsearch -H ldaps://..., SSL is installed correctly - no problem at all. I do not touch it it all during the tests. I install only the management tools (python3-lib389) on another server called "ldap-centos8", and since it needs the file default.inf, so "389-ds-base" rpm is installed too. But no 389 instances are started or configured. All the necessary certificates (CA and 2 intermediates) are imported to system pem bundles using this : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/security_hardening/using-shared-system-certificates_security-hardening (by "update-ca-trust" and/or "trust anchor path.to/certificate.crt"). ldapsearch and dsconf 1.4.2 work fine with ldaps://ldap-model... but dsconf v.1.4.3 refuses to connect. The only difference i see in debug logging are the following lines present during dsconf 1.4.3 connect attempt but absent in 1.4.2 connect debug (no 389 instances installed on this server, as i mentioned before) : DEBUG: open(): Connecting to uri ldaps://ldap-model.polytechnique.fr:636 DEBUG: Using dirsrv ca certificate /etc/dirsrv/slapd-{instance_name} DEBUG: Using external ca certificate /etc/dirsrv/slapd-{instance_name} DEBUG: Using external ca certificate /etc/dirsrv/slapd-{instance_name} DEBUG: Using certificate policy 1 DEBUG: ldap.OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT = 1 DEBUG: Cannot connect to 'ldaps://ldap-model.polytechnique.fr:636' > I'm asking because I'm looking at > the lib389 code for 1.4.3 and 1.4.2 and there is not much of a > difference except for importing certificates and how it calls the rehash > function. > > In 1.4.2 we always do: > > /usr/bin/c_rehash <cert dir> > > in 1.4.3 we call two difference function depending on the system: > > /usr/bin/openssl rehash <cert dir> > > or > > /usr/bin/c_rehash <cert dir> > > > Maybe try running "/usr/bin/c_rehash <your cert dir>" on the 1.4.3 > installation and see if it makes a difference.

I used dsctl/dsconf on the server with 389 LDAP instance ("ldap-model") and the server works fine, the problem is on another ("management") server ("ldap-centos8") where changing rpms from 1.4.3 to 1.4.2 (or the other way) switch me from working to non-working dsconf.
