Please feel free to do so: apt-get source libldap-ruby1.8 You might try building ruby-ldap from source separately to see if you can get it to behave the way you want, and then see what changes are needed to the deb to match. I notice the changelog in the deb says ssl is supported, but maybe it hasn't been exercised for a while. However, from a tcpdump you posted on ruby-talk, it looks that SSL *is* being negotiated - certainly the certificate is being sent from the server and there is a further back-and-forth communication before the connection is dropped. This suggests to me that ssl is working fine, but the connection is being dropped later for some other reason - maybe a failure to verify certificate as you suggested, or maybe something else. If you could hack the code to give a better result than just "Can't contact LDAP server" that would be awesome. Maybe just some fprintf(stderr, ...) entries would help pin down your specific problem. -- LDAP::SSLConn from ruby fails, probably from not seeing cert https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381791 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
