Rich,
       No, I'm not using client based auth with this setup.  I am sharing out the
server certificate to the network client.

Are you using client cert based auth?

[Fedora-directory-users] TLS issues during screen lock

[Brian Zuromski]

Ashley,
     Thanks for the reply.  I figured it out  by doing a `ldapsearch -ZZ 
-d 1 -b "" -s base -x` and saw that the TLS trace didn't have read 
access when using a non-privileged user.

How does this relate to
LDAP or the directory server?

[Fedora-directory-users] TLS issues during screen lock

[ashley]

Yes I've had that problem before but I fixed it before.

I think its a permission problem of user accesing the certificate. When 
you logged onto the system the auth process is done by root but when you 
lock it with a screen saver its locked by the user. So to unlock it the 
auth process is done by the user.

But if your user has no access to the certificate he can't authenticate 
against the ldap.

You can verify this by (Test this by)

chmod -R 755  /etc/openldap/certs

(Or where everever your certs are on the client system)

Log in as a normal user, lock it with xscreen saver, try unlocking it.

If it works you have a access permission  problems with your certs.
