TLS (STARTTLS) Failure After 10.6 Upgrade to Open Directory Master
- by Thomas Kishel
Hello,
Environment: Mac OS X 10.6.3 install/import of a MacOS X 10.5.8 Open Directory Master server. After that upgrade, LDAP+TLS fails on our MacOS X 10.5, 10.6, CentOS, Debian, and FreeBSD clients (Apache2 and PAM).
Testing using ldapsearch:
ldapsearch -ZZ -H ldap://gnome.darkhorse.com -v -x -b "dc=darkhorse,dc=com" '(uid=donaldr)' uid
... fails with:
ldap_start_tls: Protocol error (2)
Testing adding "-d 9" fails with:
res_errno: 2, res_error: <unsupported extended operation>, res_matched: <>
Testing without requiring STARTTLS or with LDAPS:
ldapsearch -H ldap://gnome.darkhorse.com -v -x -b "dc=darkhorse,dc=com" '(uid=donaldr)' uid
ldapsearch -H ldaps://gnome.darkhorse.com -v -x -b "dc=darkhorse,dc=com" '(uid=donaldr)' uid
... succeeds with:
# donaldr, users, darkhorse.com
dn: uid=donaldr,cn=users,dc=darkhorse,dc=com
uid: donaldr
# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success
# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1
result: 0 Success
(We are specifying "TLS_REQCERT never" in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf)
Testing with openssl:
openssl s_client -connect gnome.darkhorse.com:636 -showcerts -state
... succeeds:
CONNECTED(00000003)

So we believe that the slapd daemon is reading our certificate and writing it to LDAP clients.
Apple Server Admin adds ProgramArguments ("-h ldaps:///") to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist and TLSCertificateFile, TLSCertificateKeyFile, TLSCACertificateFile, and TLSCertificatePassphraseTool to /etc/openldap/slapd_macosxserver.conf when enabling SSL in the LDAP section of the Open Directory service. While that appears enough for LDAPS, it appears that this is not enough for TLS. Comparing our 10.6 and 10.5 slapd.conf and slapd_macosxserver.conf configuration files yields no clues. Replacing our certificate (generated with a self-signed ca) with an Apple Server Admin generated self signed certificate results in no change in ldapsearch results.
Setting -d to 256 in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist logs:
4/13/10 5:23:35 PM org.openldap.slapd[82162] conn=384 op=0 EXT oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.20037

4/13/10 5:23:35 PM org.openldap.slapd[82162] conn=384 op=0 RESULT tag=120 err=2 text=unsupported extended operation
Any debugging advice much appreciated.
