[Fedora-directory-users] TLS Issue

[Dharmin Mandalia]

Hello 

commented out "ssl start_tls" and added "ssl on" , in ldap.conf file  get below errors in /var/log/secure file :-


Jul 24 15:55:40 matrix sshd[2480]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=matrix.trues.co.uk  user=test1
Jul 24 15:55:40 matrix sshd[2480]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server
Jul 24 15:55:40 matrix sshd[2480]: pam_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server...
Jul 24 15:55:40 matrix sshd[2480]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server
Jul 24 15:55:42 matrix sshd[2480]: Failed password for test1 from 192.168.1.129 port 59436 ssh2


where the server matrix is FDS  what I did was from FDS  "ssh matrix.trues.co.uk -l test1"  where test1 users exists in ldap dir

Dharmin



Hi,

Can you check What happens if you specify

ssl start_tls

instead of "ssl on"
