Correct.

so you don't need to verify your certificate.
When you activate the tls on ldap, you only need this two lines, and you don't need the line with certificate verification*olcTLSCACertificateFile : *

Wrong.
It true and false, with debian and openLdap compiled with GnuTLS (my case), i
read this documentation :
http://wiki.debian.org/LDAP/OpenLDAPSetup and they said :

Pure garbage.

        Procedure:

You're going to need the gnutls certificate generator: certtool
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/Invoking-certtool.html>.

Run these two commands to generate a new self-signed key (into the current
working directory):

certtool --generate-privkey --outfile ca-key.pem
certtool --generate-self-signed --load-privkey ca-key.pem --outfile ca-cert.pem

Then, update your certificate locations in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
(TLSCertificateFile points to ca-cert.pem and TLSCertificateKeyFile points to ca-key.pem), *comment out TLSCACertificateFile*, and change *TLSVerifyClient
to never.*

In /etc/ldap/ldap.conf, comment out TLS_CACERT and change TLS_REQCERT to never.

This is utterly bogus. Turning off these checks disables any spoofing detection; you might as well run without TLS at all.

IMHO i know this problem but i think this is better than nothing, and actually i have nothing. I wait for valid certificate... And sorry but your RTFM answer doesn't help me to resolve this problem with gnutls and debian, i take many hours to find a valid solution in my use case, and the manual doesn't help me particulary on this point.

OpenLdap is a great software, but documentation it's a little "cryptic" for beginner like me, so i think it's easy to be rude with beginner on many points.

Best regards,
SR.
Since the certificate is self-signed, we can't have gnutls trying to verify it
(hence the never), otherwise it will never run.

And RTFM is a little violent, i try to help with my little experience, i'm not
an expert for sure.

RTFM is exactly the correct response.

Best regards,
SR.

RTFM.

Yeah, It shows output containing ber_dump, ldap_write,ldap_read,
tls_write, tls_read etc. But at the end is shows the following:

TLS certificate verification: Error, self signed certificate
TLS: can't connect: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_
CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed (self signed certificate).
ldap_start_tls: Connect error (-11)
additional info: error:14090086:SSL
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed (self
signed certificate)

Why it shows an error ? and how to resolve this?

and when I do ldapsearch with -ZZ option it gives error

$ldapsearch -x -v -D "cn=root,dc=abc,dc=com" -w cluster -b
"ou=People,dc=abc,dc=com" "uid=ldap_6" -h n0 -ZZ
ldap_initialize( ldap://n0 )
ldap_start_tls: Connect error (-11)
additional info: error:14090086:SSL
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
