I did a 'openssl x509 -in wildcard.securesites.com.cert -text -noout' I got 'CN=*.securesites.com'
My /etc/openldap/cacerts looks like: TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/cacerts/wildcard.securesites.com.cert URI ldap://fl1-lsh99apa007.securesites.com/ BASE dc=wh,dc=local But when I do a ' ldapsearch -d -1 -x -LLL -ZZ', I get: ldap_create ldap_extended_operation_s ldap_extended_operation ldap_send_initial_request ldap_new_connection 1 1 0 ldap_int_open_connection ldap_connect_to_host: TCP fl1-lsh99apa007.securesites.com:389 ldap_new_socket: 3 ldap_prepare_socket: 3 ldap_connect_to_host: Trying 10.227.2.90:389 ldap_pvt_connect: fd: 3 tm: -1 async: 0 ldap_close_socket: 3 ldap_err2string ldap_start_tls: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) -----Original Message----- From: Dan White [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2013 3:45 PM To: Rodney Simioni Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: LDAP and TLS On 06/14/13 14:42 -0400, Rodney Simioni wrote: >Hi, > >In order to for LDAP to work with TLS, does the certificate names need >to match the server name? > >My admin gave me a certificate but it's called wildcard.com.cert, the >name of my server is not 'wildcard'. Analyze the contents of the cert and verify the CN is really '*.example.com': openssl x509 -in wildcard.com.cert -text -noout If so, then your LDAP clients probably will accept it as a valid certificate (this typically works for web browsers), but your mileage may vary. We have worked with a wild card certificate provider before. In addition to offering a *.example.com cert, they may also offer a certain number of tertiary certificates (e.g. ldap.example.com) priced in with the wild card cert. -- Dan White This email message is intended for the use of the person to whom it has been sent, and may contain information that is confidential or legally protected.
