Since this is now the top hit for "openldap Mozilla nss intermediate certificate," here's what I ended up doing:
[rant] First of all, I sincerely hate Mozilla NSS. I don't understand why RH decided to building OpenLdap against it.[/rant] There, that aside, I noticed in the excellent FAQ at http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1514.html that "If you previously used OpenLDAP with OpenSSL, and have certificate files, cipher suites, and other TLS settings specified in your configuration files, those settings should work exactly the same way with Mozilla NSS - OpenLDAP with Mozilla NSS knows how to read those settings, files, etc. and apply them in the same way." So, I went to ole-reliable /etc/tls/certs and generated a key and csr, put the key in /etc/tls/private, and put the signed cert in /etc/tls/certs. I also put the geotrust intermediate cert in /etc/tls/certs as well, and then changed cn=config to read: olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/geotrust-intermediate.crt olcTLSCACertificatePath: /etc/pki/tls/certs olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ds.clarku.edu.crt olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/pki/tls/private/ds.clarku.edu.key Happy TLS'ing everyone. - Aaron From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Aaron Bennett Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 1:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Mozilla NSS -- how to deploy intermediate certificate Hello, I need to publish the GeoTrust intermediate certificate; I'm using 2.4.29 built against Mozilla NSS. In OpenSSL world, I'd use -- I think -- TLSCACertificateFile /path/to/CA-certificates. Here's what I've tried: Download GeoTrust cert from https://knowledge.geotrust.com/support/knowledge-base/index?page=content&id=AR1422 ; save as intermediate.crt Import with: # certutil -d /etc/openldap/nssdb/ -A -t ",," -n geotrust-intermediate -i intermediate.crt Certutil -L now shows: # certutil -d /etc/openldap/nssdb/ -L Certificate Nickname Trust Attributes SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI geotrust-intermediate ,, ds.clarku.edu Pu,Pu,Pu cn=config looks like this: olcTLSCACertificateFile: geotrust-intermediate olcTLSCACertificatePath: /etc/openldap/nssdb olcTLSCertificateFile: ds.clarku.edu But still clients cannot verify the cert. Any Mozilla NSS guru's know what I'm going wrong? Thanks, Aaron
