Ubuntu 14.04, OpenLDAP TLS problems

Question

I have set up an openldap server using this guide here. It worked fine. But as I want to use sssd I also need TLS to be working for LDAP. I looked into and followed the TLS part of the guide.

I never got any errors and slapd started fine again.

BUT. It does not seem to work when I try to use LDAP over TLS.

root@server:~# ldapsearch -x -ZZ -H ldap://83.209.243.253 -b dc=daladevelop,dc=se
ldap_start_tls: Protocol error (2)
    additional info: unsupported extended operation

Cranking up the debug level some notches returns some more information:

So no good information there either.

In /var/log/syslog I get:

Jun  6 08:55:42 master slapd[21383]: conn=1008 fd=23 closed

If I portscan the host I get the following:

Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-06-06 08:56 CEST
Nmap scan report for h83-209-243-253.static.se.alltele.net (83.209.243.253)

PORT    STATE SERVICE

636/tcp open  ldapssl

But when I check certs

root@master:~# openssl s_client -connect daladevelop.se:636 -showcerts -state
CONNECTED(00000003)
SSL_connect:before/connect initialization
SSL_connect:unknown state

---

---

I feel like I am clearly out in deep water not knowing at all where to go from here. Any hints appreciated on what to do or to get better debug logging.

EDIT: This is my config slapcated from cn=config and it does not mention anything about TLS.

I have inserted my certinfo.ldif:

root@master:~# cat certinfo.ldif 
dn: cn=config

add: olcTLSCACertificateFile
olcTLSCACertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
-
add: olcTLSCertificateFile
olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/ssl/certs/daladevelop_slapd_cert.pem
-
add: olcTLSCertificateKeyFile
olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/ssl/private/daladevelop_slapd_key.pem

and when doing that I only got this as an answer.

root@master:~# sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f certinfo.ldif 
SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
SASL SSF: 0
modifying entry "cn=config"

So still no wiser.

Solution

I found the solution over at Persuading openldap to work with SSL on Ubuntu with cn=config

which links to: http://rogermoffatt.com/2011/08/24/ubuntu-openldap-with-ssltls/ that has the complete solution.

Everything you have posted demonstrates that the SSL part of your configuration is working correctly. Otherwise you could not possibly get LDAP-specific error codes returned by the server. Your question remains unclear.
