Description of problem:
The sample ldap.conf file in /etc/ldap.conf has the entry:

#tls_cacertfile /etc/ssl/ca.cert

However, tls_cacertfile is not a valid option for ldap.conf

The correct entry should be:

tls_cacert /etc/ssl/ca.cert

This is also seen in other versions including RHEL 4 Beta 2.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openldap-2.2.13-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using the default tls_cacertfile /etc/ssl/ca.cert:

% grep -v ^# /etc/ldap.conf | uniq
base dc=ibb,dc=gatech,dc=edu
uri ldap://ldap.ibb.gatech.edu
ssl start_tls
tls_reqcert demand
tls_checkpeer yes
tls_cacertfile /etc/ssl/cacert.pem
tls_cacertdir /etc/ssl/certs

Now the query:

%ldapsearch -x -v -ZZ -h ldap.ibb.gatech.edu -b
dc=ibb,dc=gatech,dc=edu 'uid=dr126'
ldap_initialize( ldap://ldap.ibb.gatech.edu )
ldap_start_tls: Connect error (-11)

2. Modifying ldap.conf with tls_cacert /etc/ssl/cacert.pem

% grep -v ^# /etc/ldap.conf | uniq
base dc=ibb,dc=gatech,dc=edu
uri ldap://ldap.ibb.gatech.edu
ssl start_tls
tls_reqcert demand
tls_checkpeer yes
tls_cacert /etc/ssl/cacert.pem
tls_cacertdir /etc/ssl/certs

Now the query:

%ldapsearch -x -v -ZZ -h ldap.ibb.gatech.edu -b
dc=ibb,dc=gatech,dc=edu 'uid=dr126'
ldap_initialize( ldap://ldap.ibb.gatech.edu )
