Hi all,
I'm trying to get SASL working with OpenLDAP + TLS. I got it working without TLS with these settings:

slapd.conf:
----------
TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv3
TLSCACertificateFile /var/myCA/cacert.crt
TLSCertificateFile /var/myCA/server_crt.pem
TLSCertificateKeyFile /var/myCA/server_key.pem

# Use the following if client authentication is required
#TLSVerifyClient demand
# ... or not desired at all
TLSVerifyClient never

saslauthd.conf:
ldap_servers: ldaps://localhost
ldap_bind_dn: cn=admin,dc=abc,dc=com
ldap_bind_pw: 123456789
ldap_search_base: dc=abc,dc=com

This works great with testsaslauthd:
root@ldap:/usr/local/sasl2/sbin# ./testsaslauthd -u khanhnq -p 1234560: OK "Success."

However, when I add these lines to saslauthd.conf, it fails:
ldap_start_tls: yes
ldap_tls_cacert_dir: /var/myCA
ldap_tls_cacert_file: /var/myCA/cacert.crt
ldap_tls_cert: /var/myCA/server_crt.pem
ldap_tls_key: /var/myCA/server_key.pem

root@ldap:/usr/local/sasl2/sbin# ./testsaslauthd -u khanhnq -p 123456
0: NO "authentication failed"

When i checked /var/log/auth.log, i got a messages:
May 24 16:27:49 ldap saslauthd[870]: detach_tty : master pid is: 870
May 24 16:27:49 ldap saslauthd[870]: ipc_init : listening on socket: /var/run/mux
May 24 16:28:13 ldap saslauthd[870]: start tls failed (Can't contact LDAP server).
May 24 16:28:13 ldap saslauthd[870]: Authentication failed for khanhnq: Cannot connect to ldap server (configuration error) $
May 24 16:28:13 ldap saslauthd[870]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=khanhnq] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=ldap] [reason=Unknown]

What i'm doing wrong? Please help...

Best Regards,

Just being curious, what does lsof -ni |grep slapd show?
