[389-users] SSL Error on Startup

[David Partridge]

Is the SSL certificate self signed or is it issued by a valid Root?



*         May help to see the  content of the certificate to see what extensions and key usage of the certificate your attempting to use.

Rich,

I've read that, and I believe I've followed the steps shown there, but it doesn't solve my problem.

let's start with perms/ownership
ls -al /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance
grep nsslapd-localuser /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance/dse.ldif

see what the server cert name is
grep -i personality /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance/dse.ldif

next, look at certutil
certutil -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance -L
certutil -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance -L -n "name of CA cert"
certutil -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance -L -n "name of server cert"

Hello all,

I've installed 389 to replace an ancient server that is on its last legs. I got everything configured and working, until just now. I generated and signed ssl keys to use ldaps, and it seemed to accept everything. It told me to restart the service, which it wouldn't allow me to do from the console. From the command line `service dirsrv restart` gave me an error I can't figure out. The error is:

<?ae=PreFormAction&a=Forward&t=IPM.Note&id=RgAAAAAddcPi7ODVRL%2bRKLFJpZ86BwCjUgqOSZifQqfpcvM7EMjGAAAAkkLWAACjUgqOSZifQqfpcvM7EMjGAAAO0Wg%2fAAAJ&pspid=_1316456764395_268663948#>
[root at ceto2 ~]# service dirsrv start
Starting dirsrv:

I haven't been able to find anything on google to help me solve this. Any idea what is going wrong?
