[Fedora-directory-users] Directory Server gateway over SSL

[Jason Russler]

Crud - I was looking at the wrong logs.... At any rate here's what I see 
in the admin server's error logs:


[Mon Apr 24 15:28:34 2006] [notice] child pid 17051 exit signal 
Segmentation fault (11)
[Mon Apr 24 15:28:36 2006] [notice] [client x.x.x.x]

Segmentation fault (11)
...

Where x.x.x.x is the ip of the client system (accessing the admin server 
via a web browser).  "% host x.x.x.x" executed on the server system 
returns the correct host name for the remote client.  Now, if I turn off 
SSL for the admin server I get similar entries:

...
[Mon Apr 24 16:01:27 2006] [notice] [client x.x.x.x]

...

This is now without the segfault following every entry.   Everything 
works fine, just over a unencrypted connection. 


The system in question here is on 3 networks and is on one of our 
higher-end administrative systems (and the backup system when I get this 
one working).  The /etc/hosts file entry for the system's "real" 
external IP address is not correct - the actual DNS name is associated 
with a private internal interface - for a pile of reasons that I won't 
go into.   However DNS ("% host [system's full name]") resolves the 
system's real external IP address just fine.  My wild guess is that the 
discrepancy between the hosts file and DNS is causing trouble when using 
SSL?  But it is filling the error logs with or without SSL enabled.  I 
have a stand-alone test system with one interface (running FC5) that 
works just fine over SSL - sucks for me that I have to get it working on 
the more complicated system.
