Useful info regarding configuration.

- Assignee changed from Matthew Jones to Ben Leinfelder
Added a TLS section to the slapd.conf with reasonable defaults for our deployments:
# Security - TLS section
TLSCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/_.dataone.org.crt
TLSCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/dataone_org.key
TLSCipherSuite TLSv1+RSA:!NULL
# the following directive is the default but
# is explicitly included for visibility reasons
TLSVerifyClient never
The postinst/config process prompts for the private key location and we use this new value if it is provided.

would like to test this before "closing it"
#4 Updated by Ben Leinfelder almost 12 years ago
Configured on cn-dev and worked through a few stumbles. The buildout should now prompt for everything it needs. We do need to make sure our private key files are readable by the ssl-cert group. Since private key deployment is manual, this can be a gotchya.
Will deploy on cn-dev-2 and cn-dev-3 to test actual synchronization.

Looks good across the cn-dev-* environment. But how do we tell that TLS is actually being used?!
#6 Updated by Dave Vieglais almost 12 years ago
try:
sudo tcpdump -A -l -i eth0 port 389
then do something to initiate traffic

I updated my givenName in LDAP and saw this (replication?) call between cn-dev and cn-dev-3.

Still not conclusive to me. What do you think?
