From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: If slapd is configured to use a certificate file or certificate key file that isn't readable by the LDAP user, it fails to start without displaying any useful error message. Since most services access their certificate keys as root before dropping permissions, checking that the cert keys are readable by the ldap user is not intuitive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openldap-2.2.13-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit /etc/openldap/slapd.conf and configure a TLSCertificateFile and TLSCertificateKeyFile. 2. Make one or both files not readable by the ldap user. 3. Start LDAP ("service slapd start"). Actual Results: "[FAILED]" Expected Results: Error message explaining why it failed. Additional info:
init script will now display [WARNINIG] which will describe permission problem (as in RHEL 5 and Fedora)
