Hello

Today I discovered that one of my applications was not able to connect to a ActiveDirectory server via 636. This application is written in PHP and has been working for quite awhile. I have two other servers with the same code, that can connect to the same ActiveDirectory server without a problem. I discoverd that LDAPS breaks if I restart Apache. I tested it on one of the other boxes, and after Apache restart, that application was unable to communicate to the LDAP server as well. I can confirm that ldapsearch can connect fine on any of the boxes using the certs stored in /etc/ssl/certs/. I can also verify that this wasn't a problem a few weeks ago. Now, I've been updating the servers, and have noticed recent updates to openldap, openssl and gnutls. I decided to start there by rolling back those packages. After doing so, and restarting Apache, I'm still receiving the error. Increasing the debug level for PHP's ldap_connect(), here is some of the communication. I removed IPs and hostnames

Code:
ldap_create
ldap_url_parse_ext(ldaps://ldap.xxxxxx.com)
ldap_bind_s
ldap_simple_bind_s
ldap_sasl_bind_s
ldap_sasl_bind
ldap_send_initial_request
ldap_new_connection 1 1 0
ldap_int_open_connection
ldap_connect_to_host: TCP ldap.xxxxx.com:636
ldap_new_socket: 19
ldap_prepare_socket: 19
ldap_connect_to_host: Trying xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx:636
ldap_connect_timeout: fd: 19 tm: -1 async: 0
TLS: can't connect.
ldap_err2string
[Fri Sep 29 17:54:21 2006] [error] [client 10.0.0.25] PHP Warning:  ldap_bind() [<a href='function.ldap-bind'>function.ldap-bind</a>]: Unable to bind to server: Can't contact LDAP server in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/app/LDAPFunctions.php on line 64


Now, usually, when an error would indicate certs not being exchanged and the connection dies before any bind action is performed. I want to restate that I'm able to connect via ldapsearch on port 636 to the LDAP server.. so the server is definitely up and receiving connections. I have one server that is still able to connect to it via the application. I'm sure this will break if I restart Apache on that box.

To get Apache to talk 'keys' with the LDAP server, I had to create a /home/httpd/.ldaprc file (with the same information as /etc/openldap/ldap.conf).I'll provide both, in case they yield some clues. Also, all keys are in their target directory, and readable.. and they have not changed.

/home/httpd/.ldaprc
Code:

TLS_REQCERT never
TLS_CACERT /etc/ssl/certs/TrustedRootCert-SSL Certificate.pem
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/ssl/certs
SASL_SECPROPS   maxssf=0 #for Kerberos to work


/etc/openldap/ldap.conf
Code:

TLS_REQCERT never
TLS_CACERT /etc/ssl/certs/TrustedRootCert-SSL Certificate.pem
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/ssl/certs


I also made sure I did a revdep-rebuild, since gnutls had some issues. This did not correct anything, and I didn't see any 'apache' specific dependencies. Here are my packages:

Code:
[ebuild   R   ] net-nds/openldap-2.3.27  USE="berkdb crypt gdbm perl readline samba ssl tcpd -debug -ipv6 -kerberos -minimal -odbc -overlays -sasl (-selinux) -slp" 0 kB

[ebuild   R   ] net-libs/gnutls-1.4.4-r1  USE="nls zlib -doc" 0 kB


I knew the apps were working fine at 9/15.. so here are my emerges since then.. in case this provides a clue:

After beating my head against the wall for the last few hours.. rebuilding apache seemed to have fixed the problem.

Thanks!
