Hi folks,
How can i configure an AIX LDAP client to authenticate against an Linux Openldap server over TLS/SSL?
It works like a charm without TLS/SSL. i would like to have SSL encrypted communication for ldap (secldapclntd) and ldapsearch etc. while accepting every kind of certificate/CA.
Yes, i already read it. And justly, my question is: how can i apply this same configuration (what is for linux clients) for aix clients?
Well, if you read that documentation, you'd know that LDAP is LDAP...it DOES NOT MATTER what connects to it, as long as it obeys the protocol standard, same as with SSH, FTP, Telnet, IMAP, or anything else you can think of.
The main thing is to realize that additional filesets are needed to support SSL.
I have not experimented with the most recent AIX ldap, so the fileset names may not be accurate, but besides the base you need a combination something like this (notebly the *crypto* filesets)
