Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:51:57 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/0 Description of problem: I can't use the distributed version of auth_ldap to connect to an ldap server that only supports ldaps. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): auth_ldap-1.6.0-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try using the authldapurl of ldaps://somehost.com Actual Results: It reports invalid ldap url. Expected Results: It should have connected to the ldapserver on the ldaps port. Additional info: I've seen several requests for this feature on the auth_ldap mailing list, and sent in a patch to the owner, in fact from the mailing list, it looks like several people have written this same patch, but apparently he does not want to add it, so maybe I can make my plea to have it added in here.
Created attachment 90557 [details] Patch to support ldaps with openldap.
Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Red Hat Linux 9 are no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. They are maintained by the Fedora Legacy project (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/) for security updates only. If this is a security issue, please reassign to the 'Fedora Legacy' product in bugzilla. Please note that Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006. If this is not a security issue, please check if this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been provided. If you are currently still running Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9, please note that Fedora Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006. You are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Any bug still open against Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9 at the end of 2006 will be closed 'CANTFIX'. Again, if this bug still exists in a current release, or is a security issue, please change the product as necessary. We thank you for your help, and apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
