[Fedora-directory-users] Re: "This beta software has expired"?

[Kevin Kovach]

Hello again,

I'm suspecting more and more that it was a certificate issue, since the
error log references port 636.

However, I've gone over the SSL HOWTO on the FDS wiki and I don't understand
what the problem is.  When I installed FDS about 5 months ago I used the
information provided here,
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/ssl.html#1087158  on
setting up a self signed certificate.  This link was posted on the SSL HOWTO
on help with using certutil.

I was able to get FDS up and running with SSL after a couple emails to the
list and a couple changes to the FDS wiki regarding SSL.  As I said, it's
been running well for the past 5 months or so.

My understanding was that the example there created a cert that would be
valid for 123 months (-v 120) plus the default 3 months?  I would not expect
this cert to have expired already.

That said, I went through the same steps to try and recreate the CA and
Server certs for the directory again now.  After doing so without any error
messages, I tried to start the directory server again and I'm getting the
same message.

Thanks.

- Kevin
