[389-users] Recover after installing a bad cert.

[Dumbo Q]

Of course, it would help if i trusted the intermediate cert.
certutil -M -t "CT,," -d . -n "UTN-USERFirst-Hardware - AddTrust AB"
certutil -M -t "CT,," -d . -n "PositiveSSL CA - The USERTRUST Network"


After doing this I tried an ldapsearch -H ldaps://.... 
ldapsearch worked with no problem.
My ldap client "Jxplorer"  could not connect however. It complained with the following..
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Invalid Server Certificate: server certificate could not be verified, and the CA certificate is missing from the certificate chain.

A partial success i guess.

Thanks that did it.

I just can't seem to get this certificate working.  Here is the most recent way that i have tried.
cat bundle.crt >> new.crt    ## bundle, being the chain certificates provided by the CA
cat rhds.crt >> new.crt    ## rhds being the actual cert provided by the CA
openssl verify new.crt   ## turned out OK

openssl pkcs12 -export -in new.crt -inkey rhds.example.com.key  -out rhds.example.com-PSSL.p12

pk12util -i /root/certs/rhds.example.com-PSSL.p12 -d .
certutil -L -d .
Certificate Nickname                                         Trust Attributes
                                                             SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI


rhds.example.com - Comodo CA Limited                  u,u,u
PositiveSSL CA - The USERTRUST Network                       ,,
UTN-USERFirst-Hardware - AddTrust AB                         ,,


Still the same error when i try to use this cert.  Am I doing something wrong?

Make sure you backup /etc/dirsrv/INSTANCE/dse.ldif

then edit that file and look for

nsslapd-security: on

change to

nsslapd-security: off

save file,  restart service and ssl should be turned off.  Keep in mind 
whatever caused the ssl config to puke in the first place is still there :)
