Hello everybody and, firstly, thanks for your continued support.
I hope I've used the correct expression/jargon, ie:PAM-LDAP ?
PAM-LDAP works with LDAPS and binding with cn=Directory Manager/password
hardcoded in /etc/ldap.conf - great stuff.
This was configured using the GUI '/usr/sbin/system-config-authentication' -
also great stuff !
Symbolic Link pointing to the CA certificate: Q1. I've searched the web but
cannot find what purpose the symbolic link serves.
----------------------------------------
# ls -toalr /etc/openldap/cacerts
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 1464 2009-03-10 12:21 authconfig_downloaded.pem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 25 2009-03-10 12:21 123a856c.0 -> authconfig_downloaded.pem
Client Certificate etc.
--------------------------
I'm now experimenting with client certificates and have found the following
link:
http://lists.fini.net/pipermail/ldap-interop/2005-April/000421.html
and see the following example lines for the file /etc/ldap.conf:
tls_cert /usr/share/ssl/certs/ldap.pem ($FN.pem in my case)
tls_key /usr/share/ssl/certs/ldap.key.pem ($FN.key for me)
Q2. ldap.key.pem: Is this file simply the $FN.key file created by the following
command ?
Will I have trouble if I specify '-passout' ? I assume it protects the file
$FN.key.
How will PAM-LDAP open the keystore if I have used a password ?
openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout ${FN}.key -out ${FN}.csr -passout
pass:<password> 0<< EOF >/dev/null 2>&1
<SNIP>
Q3. ldap.pem: Is this file simply the $FN.pem file created by the following
command ?
openssl ca -in ${FN}.csr -out ${FN}.pem -days 7300 -keyfile
$DIR/demoCA/private/cakey.pem \
-cert $DIR/demoCA/cacert.pem \
-passin pass:<CA PASSWORD> << EOF2 >/dev/null 2>&1
<SNIP>
Thanks again, cdlt,
-----------
