Simple question: ldaps:/// or ldaps://?

[Susanne Benkert <benkerts@emt.iis.fhg.de>]

Hi,

I use SSL/TLS to secure my Openldap Communication. Therefor I started 
slapd with:

/usr/local/openldap/libexec/slapd -h "ldaps:/// ldap:///"; -f 
/usr/local&openldap/etc/openldap/slapd.conf

like described in the FAQ. In general this works all right, but as I 
found out some client programms (like GQ) can't connect with the 
Ldapserver, if I started the slapd like this.

But with

..... -h "ldaps:// ldap://"; .....

seems to work better. Are there any disadvantages in using this? What is 
the main difference between these two ways to start slapd?

As anybody experience in getting the adressbook of Mozilla working with 
an Openldap directory? It was running serveral days ago (but only 
without SSL/TLS), but now it has a "Server search problem". The thing 
is, that I don't know what I changed. - With Netscape the adressbook & 
Ldap-stuff works fine. Can't anybody give me some advise?


Thank you and bye
Susanne
