RE: [squid-users] LDAP & Novell

Hi All,

Well I have LDAP running fine with Squid and Novell with clear-text and as
Tim points out the next step is to get this to work via SSL.

I won't be attempting this until the New Year now when a Novell Admin will
be available to assist me. I will keep you all posted on the results of that
and hopefully I will be able to knock up an FAQ entry detailing the process.
If anyone on the list has had success in getting this to work, please let us
know so we can have the best shot at getting this to work as easily as
possible.

Thanks to all

Regards
Jay

I am at the same point Jay is at in attempting to get ldap authentication
via SSL to Novell NDS.

When I try squid_ldap_auth (or ldapsearch) from the command line I get the
message "squid_ldap_auth: WARNING, could not bind to binddn 'Can't contact
LDAP server'" (if I take out the SSL options it works fine).

I'm thinking at this point that it is a problem between openssl & Novell
since I can connect to the Novell server & do queries with no problems using
a Java Utility (ldapbrowser) that uses JSSE instead of OpenSSL.

Does anyone have this running against Novell NDS using SSL with the Novel
server using self signed certificates (I ran the command 'openssl
s_client -connect novellserver:636' to double check the SSL Cert and the
only error that came up was that it was a self signed certificate).
