OpenLDAP : LDAP over SSL/TLS2020/05/11

	Configure LDAP over SSL/TLS to use secure encrypted connection.
[1]	On this exmaple, create and use self-signed certificates like here.
[2]	Configure LDAP Server.

root@dlp:~#

cp /etc/ssl/private/server.key \
/etc/ssl/private/server.crt \
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
/etc/ldap/sasl2/

root@dlp:~#

chown openldap. /etc/ldap/sasl2/server.key \
/etc/ldap/sasl2/server.crt \
/etc/ldap/sasl2/ca-certificates.crt

root@dlp:~#

vi mod_ssl.ldif

# create new

dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcTLSCACertificateFile
olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/ldap/sasl2/ca-certificates.crt
-
replace: olcTLSCertificateFile
olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/ldap/sasl2/server.crt
-
replace: olcTLSCertificateKeyFile
olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/ldap/sasl2/server.key

root@dlp:~#

ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f mod_ssl.ldif

SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
modifying entry "cn=config"

root@dlp:~#

systemctl restart slapd

[3]	Configure LDAP Client. If you'd like to make sure the connection between LDAP server and client is encrypted, use tcpdump or other network capture software on LDAP server.

vi /etc/nslcd.conf

# line 29: add
