Problem with ADAM SSL and PHP login

[Björn Andersen]

Hi,

I got an out-of-thebox install of ADAM, given port 389 and 636 during
installation.
Now, connecting to the Instance via 389 works, via 636 & SSL not. Not even
with ldp.exe.
I read that a certificate was needed, but which ? I'm trying to connect from
localhost, so the user
and ADAM should see the same certs.
I tryed to install a webserver-cert and put the name in the HOSTS, but no
go.

Also, has anybody experience connecting PHP via php_ldap.dll to Adam ?
I got PhpLdapAdmin working for anonymous access, but I don't know how to log
in.

Please Help.

First of all, check ADAM logs. Does it complain that it could not get a
cert? Here's a checklist that I posted not too long ago.

Did you create the cert as "server auth"?
Did you import it into the machine store or (better) into ADAM service
store?
Did you find the private key file and granted ADAM service account read
access to it?
Did you issue the cert to the full DNS name of ADAM machine?
Does your client connect to the full DNS name of ADAM machine?
Does client trust the cert?

The help is on the way -- we are preparing a whitepaper on setting up SSL
for ADAM.
