is it necessary to specify both TLS_CACERT and TLS_CACERTDIR ? or can the full path to ca cert be specified in TLS_CACERT? what does this mean? 16.2.2.1. TLS_CACERT <filename>
This is equivalent to the server's TLSCACertificateFile option. As noted in the TLS Configuration<https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/tls.html#TLS%20Configuration> section, a client typically may need to know about more CAs than a server, but otherwise the same considerations apply. 16.2.2.2. TLS_CACERTDIR <path> This is equivalent to the server's TLSCACertificatePath option. The specified directory must be managed with the OpenSSL c_rehash utility as well. If using Mozilla NSS, <path> may contain a cert/key database. ________________________________ From: Howard Chu <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 2, 2020 10:27 PM To: Siddharth Jain <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: TLS: during handshake: Peer certificate is not trusted: kSecTrustResultRecoverableTrustFailure Quanah Gibson-Mount wrote: > > > --On Saturday, October 3, 2020 12:36 AM +0000 Siddharth Jain > <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> But ldapsearch throws an error: >> >> >> $ ldapsearch -d 1 -x -H ldaps://ldap.foo.com:636 ... -ZZ > > This is not valid. > > Either you: > > (a) use ldap:// with -ZZ (startTLS) > > OR > > (b) use ldaps:// > > Both will result in a TLS secured connection if successful > > But you absolutely CANNOT combine startTLS + ldaps:// Also, TLS_CERT/TLS_KEY are user-only directives.
