Re: Using "keytool" to create security certificates for OpenLDAP

Thanks Jon.

It worked after I made it "javax.net.ssl.trustStore". Thanks a mill.

I'm running into another problem though -- it seems I cannot perform
more than a couple of bind operations against OpenLDAP. After a
certain number of calls to bind(), the thread gets stuck waiting on
some condition, and I have no clue what that condition is. Have you
had this problem? Is there a max number of connections that one can
have active against OpenLDAP server?

This is the code where it hangs:
        if (this.useSSL) {
            LDAPSocketFactory sslSocketFactory = new
LDAPJSSESecureSocketFactory(/*new OpenLDAPSSLSocketFactory()*/);
            LDAPConnection.setSocketFactory(sslSocketFactory);
        }
        this.masterConnection = new LDAPConnection();

        try {
            this.masterConnection.connect(host, port);


            //**************** THIS LINE BELOW IS WHERE IT HANGS
******************
            this.masterConnection.bind(LDAPConnection.LDAP_V3,
this.loginDN, passwd);


        } catch (LDAPException e) {
            throw new InitializationException("could not initialize a
connection to the ldap server. If you have a firewall enabled, please
make sure to enable passthrough for the openldap server port. Also
make sure that your credentials are correct.",
                    e);
        }


Thanks,
Safdar
