Hi all, I'm running version 2.4.49 on Ubuntu 20.04. I've been unable to add
the olcTLSCipherSuite configuration attribute.

# ldapmodify -H ldapi:// -Y EXTERNAL -f set-ciphersuite.ldif

returns:

SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
modifying entry "cn=config"
ldap_modify: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80)

set-ciphersuite.ldif contains the following:

dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcTLSCipherSuite
olcTLSCipherSuite: ALL

The openldap packages in Ubuntu use GnuTLS as the TLS library, not OpenSSL. Therefore the value of olcTLSCipherSuite has to be a GnuTLS priority string, not an OpenSSL cipher list.
