Hi Dont know how to reply on same thread.

Just click on reply & leave the subject of mail un-touched

but thank for quick reply.

its case sensitive. so I created the cert file and i put that one into client , and i configured as documentated

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf

URI ldap://ldap-2.fosiul.lan/ BASE dc=fosiul,dc=lan TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts/ TLS_REQCERT allow #TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.asc

and in /etc/ldap.conf base dc=fosiul,dc=lan uri ldap://ldap-2.fosiul.lan/ ssl start_tls tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts/

#TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.asc pam_password md5

You should use pam_password clear because Your password is being hashed by your client system before it is sent to the Directory Server. This is not allowed since the server would have no way to enforce it's password policy against a pre-hashed password. You need to configure /etc/ldap.conf to send the clear text password to the LDAP server. You should use SSL/TLS to protect the password in transit (which you already have).

and i can see it created another file in /etc/openldap/cacerts/ directory like ths 5be5959f.0 ds-ca.crt

and when i do like this

id usrname

it does not find the user and i dont see any error in /var/log/message

so its like its connecting to ldap. .but it does not get any information

do i have to say Cn="Directory Manager" some where in ldap.conf file ??

thanks for your help.

Fosiul

but in clients , log file

Copy the my-public-ca.asc file in /etc/openldap/cacerts # cp my-public-ca.asc /etc/openldap/cacerts # cacertdir_rehash /etc/openldap/cacerts

This will create file like below. (Check for the soft link file ending with .0)

[root@atolani cacerts]# ll total 4 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Apr 24 11:16 2c47a1a7.0 -> my-public-ca.asc -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 851 Apr 9 01:13 my-public-ca.asc

Now try to run ldapsearch using -ZZ (for start_tls) Make sure you give the exact hostname which you used while creating the cert in this step. "certutil -S -n "server-cert" -s "cn=directory.example.com""

Something like this.

ldapsearch -x -ZZ -D "cn=Directory manager" -w password -h directory.example.com -b "dc=example,dc=com"

If this works, Then your TLS is working. Now try to configure pam_ldap with tls.
