Fixed In Version: openldap-2.4.23-17.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
- OpenLDAP server with olcVerifyClient setting set 'allow', or client tool setting TLS_REQCERT set to 'allow'. The remote peer certificate is invalid. - OpenLDAP server/client connection will fail. - Patches were applied to ignore invalid remote peer certificates when olcVerifyClient (on server side) or TLS_REQCERT (on client side) is set to allow. - When server's olcVerifyClient setting is set to 'allow', the server allows the connections from remote clients, even if their client certificates are invalid. When client's TLS_REQCERT is set to 'allow', the client allows the connection to remote server, even if the remote server's certificate is invalid.
