[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.
