[Fedora-directory-users] RE: Fedora-directory-users Digest, Vol 19, Issue 1

My logs seem to indicate that the connection is being encrypted; I can ssh 
to a client server and get the password prompt, but when I enter the 
password it just returns me to the password prompt again

[01/Dec/2006:19:47:44 -0500] conn=650 fd=69 slot=69 connection from 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[01/Dec/2006:19:47:44 -0500] conn=650 op=0 EXT oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.20037" 
name="startTLS"
[01/Dec/2006:19:47:44 -0500] conn=650 op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=120 nentries=0 
etime=0
[01/Dec/2006:19:47:44 -0500] conn=650 SSL 256-bit AES
[01/Dec/2006:19:47:44 -0500] conn=650 op=1 UNBIND
[01/Dec/2006:19:47:44 -0500] conn=650 op=1 fd=69 closed - U1

If I disable TLS everything works fine, the client server can query the FDS 
and auth the client properly

I am not sure if the problem has to do with the pam_ldap not properly 
formatted or the cert file not in proper format

Does anyone have an example of what the pam_ldap config should look like? or 
suggestions on checking whether the cert file is in proper format

Also what's the UNBIND shown in the logs?

Thanks
