Fwd: TLS init def ctx failed: -1

[Howard Chu]

We need to either remove this document from the web site, or remove the part 
that tells how to create a self-signed server cert. Anyone deploying TLS with 
their own certs should be creating their own CA separately from their server 
certs. And telling folks to create cert files where the private key is 
included in the same file is utterly irresponsible.

Hi all

I contact you because I don’t succeed to configure my OpenLDAP with TLS.

First I create self signed certificate server.pem like I read on this
page http://www.openldap.org/pub/ksoper/OpenLDAP_TLS.html#5.1.1 in
/usr/local/etc/openldap/tls.

|*openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -x509 -nodes -out server.pem -keyout
server.pem -days 365*|

|* *|

Then I add this line in slapd.conf :

TLSCertificateFile /usr/local/etc/openldap/tls/server.pem

TLSCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/etc/openldap/tls/server.pem

TLSCACertificateFile /usr/local/etc/opendldap/tls/server.pem

TLSVerifyClient never

Then I restart slapd. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd stop , start.

And in my /var/log/debug.log I have

Jul  2 12:18:39 labobe2 slapd[97816]: main: TLS init def ctx failed: -1

Jul  2 12:18:39 labobe2 slapd[97816]: slapd destroy: freeing system
resources.

Jul  2 12:18:39 labobe2 slapd[97816]: syncinfo_free: rid=001

Jul  2 12:18:39 labobe2 slapd[97816]: slapd stopped.

I use FreeBSD 7.

If someone can help me, I appreciate, thanks in advance

Regards,

François
