Description of problem: Authconfig update in RHEL4 U1 always adds if the authconfig is run a TLS_CACERTDIR directive to the /etc/openldap/ldap.conf with value /etc/openldap/cacerts. However this directory is created only if user selects a TLS option on the LDAP config dialog. The OpenLDAP server fails to start if the directive is in the ldap.conf file and the directory doesn't exist. Additional info: This should be fixed either by openldap creating and owning this directory or by authconfig - ensuring that it doesn't write the directive to the ldap.conf if TLS is not on. However I think that the directory should be owned by some package anyway so the former solution is more correct (and easier as it doesn't require any code change - only packaging).
Avaya would like to know how we plan to fix this. Option one seems to be the best idea. Please advise.
