Trying to get Thunderbird talking SSL to ApacheDS 1.5.7 but having
difficulties. Non-SSL working fine. Other clients (such as iPhone and
Apache Studio DS) also work fine with and without SSL against the same
server. So I have ruled out basic connectivity issues etc.
In Thunderbird, it seems to go awry when it's reading the certificate.
If I try installing an exception for that server, and plug in the URL
https://my.server.com:636 (or ldaps instead of https), it comes back
with "No Information Available". And "Unable to obtain identification
status for the given site".
I have tried installing a self-signed certificate with slightly
different parameters but this makes no difference. Also tried TB on
another machine, just in case my TB install was hosed in some way, but
same result.
Have tried this in Thunderbird 3.0.6, 3.0.7 and 3.1.2. Thunderbird SSL
also working fine with other servers for IMAPS, SMTPS etc, just not
LDAPS on ApacheDS.
Does anyone else have this combination working?
Cheers, MT
