Re: SSL/TLS issue
I ran into this problem about a year ago.
It took me about 3 months to resolve.
The code isn't broken, it works.
All these guys are telling you the detail, and detail is important.
But.... My problem was resolved, when I understood the concept:
Ca-self signed certificate [ or just a certificate ]
Read through how that is supposed to work logically: I sat down with another
sys admin and I explained it to him, and then looked at what I had done
[actually that forced me to look at what I had done].
I had not done, what I had explained had to be done.
Well that was stupid, but it was easy to fix.
The self signed certificate doc is at
WWW.openladap.org/faq/data/cache/185.html
You might want to review it from a logical stand point, and understand what
the objective is. Then it's easy to setup.
Sometimes it's not the razor,
Sometimes it's your face.
Hope that clears up [well, not your face, just...] the problem.
I am sure your face was excellent to begin with.
