Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I am able to use TLS with slapd without any problems, but one thing I had to adjust was to give the openldap user access to the directory containing the certificate and key.
I placed my cert in /etc/ssl/certs, and the key in /etc/ssl/private. Since the /etc/ssl/private directory's group ownership is ssl-cert I executed: sudo adduser openldap ssl-cert Then restarted slapd, and everything worked fine using the configuration example you posted above (but with different directories). I'm using a self-singed cert and CA cert. Can you double check that the openldap user has access to your cert directory? Also another thing to try is adding the following to /etc/ldap/ldap.conf: TLS_REQCERT never Then restart slapd and see if you can connect. Thanks again. -- slapd + gnutls fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217159 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openldap2.3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
