Re: Setting up LDAP and SSL

["Lye" <sze4041@singnet.com.sg>]

1. u need to change the slapd.conf  to specify where is the cert and the
private key . Check the man page for slapd.conf for exact details. Issue an
ldapadd -Z to test the SSL connection ( u can try using a sniffer like
ethereal to check if connection is encrypted)

hope it helps
