contact ldap via ssl - won't do

[Christian Guenther <chris@blaue-elise.net>]

Hi list,

I'm in deep trouble here. While I can successful connect to an
openldap-server I can't do thi s via ssl (port 639).

I created an ssl-certificate with 

	openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 720 -out \
	/etc/openldap/server.pem -keyout /etc/openldap/server.pem

and set up my /etc/init.d/ldap start-script accordingly
The ldap-server starts I as I said I can contact and query it on 
the normal port, but NOT with SSL or TLS or whatever.

Here is the output of my query command:

	ldapsearch -H ldaps://talamus.blaue-elise.net/ -x -b "" -s base
	ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server

My System is RedHat Linux 7.2 with unchanged openldap 2.0.11-13

Pleease help,

	chris
