Re: SSL3 alert write:fatal:unknown CA



Hi 
thank you for your suggestion. I looked for a while on openldap.org and didn't 
find the article you are mentioning. But, I found the article "How to use I 
use TLS/SSL?" in the Faq-O-Matic which gave me some answers.  
I'm just testing OpenLDAP to get the know how and that's why I'm not going to 
buy a "real" certificate. 
Nevertheless, I'm still curious about de document you are talking about...
Cheers, Pierre
