RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Currently /etc/openldap/ldap.conf has the following reference to trust store:
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts
This is a specific store for openldap in openssl's certdir format. By default this directory is empty, ldapsearch and other utilities cannot be used to access ssl/startTLS servers with valid system wide trusted certificate chains.
ca-certificates package provide update-ca-trust utility to manage the system trust, for openssl it manages /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt (/etc/ssl/certs which is symlink to /etc/pki/tls/certs), openldap uses openssl.
openldap package can be integrated to use this system wide store by adding the following into /etc/openldap/ldap.conf:
TLS_CACERT /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
This will have the impact of using the trust provided by system in addition to what exists in /etc/openldap/cacerts.
Integrating openldap into the system wide trust by default will enable easier and more secure management of system trust.
