Dear listers who are not at BUW (and those who are and are checking their email!)
ARS 6.3 Solaris 8 I am currently using AREA LDAP successfully to authenticate ARS users to an LDAP tree fronting Novell E-Directory. Everyone thinks it's marvellous. However, the E-Directory team want to withdraw the unencrypted LDAP service, and require everyone to use LDAP over SSL. Fair enough, a very sensible thing to do. The LDAP tree certificate doesn't go back to one of the trusted root certificate authorities, but is self signed. There is a RootCert.der certificate to be imported. However, the AREA LDAP plug-in is based on the Netscape SDK, and requires a cert7.db and key3.db incorporating the credentials. On Windows, I can do this by running version 4.7 of Netscape and opening the RootCert.der file. This imports it and incorporates the credentials into the cert7.db and key3.db files. This is explained at http://listserv.rbugs.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0402&L=arslist&P=R54534 However, if I try the same on Solaris, it doesn't work, and I can't seem to copy across the db files from Windows to Solaris - or at least Netscape on Solaris seems not to notice them. Does anyone have any suggestions?
