Hi
I'm trying to get a secure connection from rpc.nisd (on a fully
patched solaris 9 machine) to an openldap server. The server end works
well with several independent ldap clients, but the sun client does not
work.
Running
nisldapmaptest -o -t passwd
gives the following error
Failed to initialize SSL client: 'security library: bad database.'
the entry in the file /etc/default/rpc.nisd for the TLS stuff is
####################################################################
# Transport layer security for mapping data to/from LDAP.
#
nisplusLDAPTLS=ssl
# Certificate DB for transport layer security
nisplusLDAPTLSCertificateDBPath=/var/nis/filename-cert.pem
####################################################################
where the file /var/nis/filename-cert.pem is a self signed certificate
produced by openssl. The available documentation talks of a "
certificate DB file" . Is this not a plan text file? Do we have to
process an openssl certificate somehow to get a "certificate DB" or do
we have to load the CA certificate somewhere?
Thanks in anticipation
Bob
