I just loaded openfiler 2.3 and this is still broken. If my ldap server requires TLS, the openfiler scripts ignore the TLS flag set in the authentication section and still try to talk to the LDAP server without TLS.

Did you update the software after installation?
Just ran it now (and rebooted), still doesn't work.

The passwords don't work? You reported two different issues .....

I haven't tried the passwords.

OK, please verify if this works for you now.


However the TLS issue is still there.


I also noticed that it can't seem to find the users in my LDAP directory even though other systems on my network see them just fine.

Is your LDAP configured with the standard NIS schema ?
Yes. Turns out this is fixed by turning off TLS on openfiler.

My ldap server is setup to allow queries without TLS, but to require TLS for admin changes. This works fine with most Linux distros as they just use the non-TLS connection to talk to the server and then the admin scripts use TLS when sending the root DN and password. However when I configure openfiler to use TLS, it tries to use TLS for queries, but doesn't use TLS for the admin commands (rather backwards don't you think?).

Good catch.


Furthermore openfiler is probably also confused by my SSL certificate because it's self-signed and I don't see a way to tell openfiler about the cert properly. Normally I copy it to /etc/ssl/certs and run c_rehash (which doesn't exist on openfiler) and then set TLS_CACERTDIR in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf to point to /etc/ssl/certs and life is good.

Okies, open a ticket for this: https://project.openfiler.com/tracker/newticket (you'll need to register first).


While I'm mentioning SSL, is there a way to give openfiler an SSL certificate to use so that if I have my own CA that all of my users trust they don't need specific security exceptions for the openfiler self-signed cert?

There's an open ticket for this: https://project.openfiler.com/tracker/ticket/335
