[nssldap] Issues with TLS



I've enabled TLS on the server, and I can create a session correctly.

I can cd ~USERNAME to an LDAP user's home directory; however, when I try to su to that user, the system hangs.

/var/log/messages shows the following:

Jul 25 16:07:04 wurfel cron[82494]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable Jul 25 16:12:05 wurfel cron[82508]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable Jul 25 16:13:05 wurfel cron[82510]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable Jul 25 16:17:04 wurfel cron[82533]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable

/usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf contains the following:

host $ourldapserver
base dc=chapman,dc=edu
ldap_version 3
binddn uid=(This is correct)
bindpw **************
ssl start_tls
TLS_CACERT /usr/local/etc/openldap/cacert.pem
pam_password crypt
logdir /var/log


When I remove the ssl start_TLS and the tls_cacert line, things work correctly. Anyone have any guidance?
