More likely it is because the hostname in the cert doesn't match up with the hostname connected to. I've got self signed certs (well signed by my own certificate autority), and I have many SMTP TLS connections in my logs. I know that LDAPS will fail if the hostnames don't match, but will complete successfully if they do match, regardless of what type of certificate it is. -- Joseph Tate Personal e-mail: jtate AT dragonstrider DOT com Web: http://www.dragonstrider.com -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
