In ldap server host:
2
1. In /etc/ldap/slapd.conf (or /etc/openldap/slapd.conf) file, remove the comment symbols of two lines:
3 3401 tao
   TLSCertificateFile /var/lib/ldap/cert/cacert.pem
4
   TLSCertificateKeyFile /var/lib/ldap/cert/privkey.pem
5
6 3406 tao
2. In /var/lib/ldap/cert directory (which should be as same as the TLSCertificateKeyFile dir in slapd.conf file), generate private key:
7 3401 tao
   openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 1024
8
9
3. In /var/lig/ldap/cert directory, generate self-signed certificate:
10
   openssl req -new -x509 -days 900  -key privkey.pem -out cacert.pem
11
12
   The example to set up a certificate:
13
   Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:US
14
   State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:California
15
   Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:Santa Barbara
16
   Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:UCSB
17
   Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:NCEAS
18
   Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:dev.nceas.ucsb.edu
19
   (Note: don't put port number here)
20
   Email Address []:tao@nceas.ucsb.edu
21
22
   Note: the country name, state name (full name) and host name should be correct ones.

For java client, e.g, Metacat:
27
28
1. Copy the certificate file - cacert.pem from server host to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security directory
29
   in client host which can be different to the server host.
30
   Note: the $JAVA_HOME is the java home under which Metacat is running.
31
32
2. In $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security directory, import the certificate into key store:
33 3401 tao
   keytool -import -alias knp-ldap -file cacert.pem -keystore cacerts
34
35 3406 tao
3. Restart tomcat.

For other client, e.g, ldapsearch:
39
40
1. In client host (which can be different to ldap server host), modify the ldap.conf in /etc/lodap
41
   (or /etc/openldap) directory by adding:
42
   TLS_REQCERT try
43
   TLS_CACERT /usr/share/ssl/ldapcerts/cacert.pem
44
45
2. Copy the certificate file - cacert.pem from server host to  /usr/share/ssl/ldapcerts/ in client host.
46
47
3. Make a test search:
48
   ldapsearch -x -h ldap.ecoinformatics.org -b dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org -LLL -ZZ uid=tao dn
49
   and you will see something like:
50
51
   dn: uid=tao,o=NCEAS,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org
52
53
   dn: uid=tao,ou=Account,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org
