Hi, There was an email earlier yesterday about LDAP/SSL/TLS but I'm going to revise my question. Please disregard the email because instead of creating certificates,
I'm going to use certs provided by my linux admin to configure SSL/TLS with LDAP. My sysadmin gave me 3 wildcard openssl files; with an ext of .cert, .csr, and .key. This wildcard.xxxxxxx.cert is suppose to be a CA, below are the important contents: [root@fl1-lsh99apa007 ~]# openssl x509 -in wildcard.securesites.com.cert -noout -text Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: 69277 (0x10e9d) Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption Issuer: C=US, O=GeoTrust, Inc., CN=GeoTrust SSL CA Validity Not Before: Dec 1 05:59:42 2011 GMT Not After : Dec 2 01:04:06 2016 GMT Subject: serialNumber=NwnaG0OQxm/2fIiyWh6NThC40ROOk/KH, C=US, ST=Colorado, L=Englewood, O=MYNAMESERVER, LLC, OU=Secure Services Division, CN=*.securesites.com Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption Public-Key: (2048 bit) .... X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:42:79:54:1B:61:CD:55:2B:3E:63:D5:3C:48:57:F5:9F:FB:45:CE:4A X509v3 Key Usage: critical Digital Signature, Key Encipherment, Data Encipherment X509v3 Extended Key Usage: TLS Web Server Authentication, TLS Web Client Authentication X509v3 Subject Alternative Name: DNS:*.securesites.com, DNS:securesites.com X509v3 CRL Distribution Points: Full Name: URI:http://gtssl-crl.geotrust.com/crls/gtssl.crl X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: D9:88:62:C6:90:FE:5D:78:9B:AE:5A:78:AF:DF:30:49:7E:54:D3:83 X509v3 Basic Constraints: critical CA:FALSE Authority Information Access: CA Issuers - URI:http://gtssl-aia.geotrust.com/gtssl.crt How do I create signed certificates with the CA above and those wildcard file so that it will be used with LDAP? Please excuse my ignorance with openssl, I've been working with this for a few days and there are so many ways to configure LDAP/SSL searching google but they haven't worked for me probably because I lack experience with SSL, thanks in advance.
