I did some tests using ethereal and I just found out that the suse clients arent using TLS also... are there any especific configurations I have to do? I've enabled SSL on redhat-config-authentication and also copied the cacert.pem from my server to the client and added TLS_CACERT /path/to/certificate to ldap.conf (the two of them : one on /etc/ and the other in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf ) -------------------- Pedro Fernandes Macedo webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
