This might be a reason for RHDS to not even try to establish a sync with AD. Other then this, I have no other ideas for now. I'm not an experimented RHDS admin, but maybe others will be of more help.

Even more straightforward is to generate certificate requests for both servers and get them signed by the same root CA. --- On Thu, 7/31/08, Groot, Mathijs de (IDT Competence Java) <math.de.groot@logica.com> wrote:<o:p></o:p> From: Groot, Mathijs de (IDT Competence Java) <math.de.groot@logica.com> Subject: [Fedora-directory-users] Unable to SSL with Windows Sync Agreement To: fedora-directory-users@redhat.com Date: Thursday, July 31, 2008, 12:18 PM<o:p></o:p> <div id=yiv365534948> <div> Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> I can use some help with setting up the Windows Sync.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Ill give some context first, im trying to sync user, groups and passwords from a Windows 2003 server with Active Directory with a Red Hat enterprise 5, Red Hat Directory Server 8.0.<o:p></o:p> It is a test environment with where I can access and configure the servers easily.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> But ive got some problems setting a new Windows Sync Agreement.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> It comes down to the following:<o:p></o:p> I can’t get an SSL connection with the a new Windows Sync Agreement, from the Red Hat DS to the Windows AD server.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> In the Windows Sync Server info screen I get the following message when clicking on next: <o:p></o:p> "unable to contact Active Directory server, continue"<o:p></o:p> (Windows Sync Server info screen located In the Directory Server Console -> Configuration tab -> Replication -> userRoot -> highlight the database -> Object -> New Windows Sync Agreement -> The second screen reads Windows Sync Server Info)<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> But when I uncheck the checkbox “Using encrypted SSL connection” the connection works and the Windows AD server is reached.<o:p></o:p> So this concludes (and ive tested) that the Windows Server and domain is reachable and the Bind DN is valid, and entered values are correct.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The SSL connection seems to be setup correctly, the checks (ldapsearch query) described by the fedora manual outputs the correct result.
