Issue/Introduction

Attempting to start CALDAP server using certificate. When providing certificate label and key ring name, the started task fails immediately with RC=0256, and no diagnostic information is provided. (RC=0256 appears to be utilized for most all issues related to the config file.) Debug and LogLevel are both set to -0. Both the secured and unsecured port are defined in the config file. When not providing TLS certificate information, the server task starts without issue and users can connect (unsecured) with Apache DS and browse Top Secret data. Only when the TLS information is provided does the server task fail to start.

Environment

Release:
Component: TSSLDP

Resolution

Defining a secured port in your slapd.conf config file requires the creation of a certificate and keyring in Top Secret.

Modify the slapd.conf with the certificate label name and keyring label name documented here
