Topic: Lets Encrypt with slapd

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.3.2 OPENLDAP edition
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? downloadable
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Linux Ubuntu / 5.8.0-43-generic
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): LDAP
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? No
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

Thanks for putting this out there for everyone to use.. This is working pretty great.  I have minimal issues right now.

1: I got SSL certs from Lets Encrypt and everything is fine except for LDAP.  If I enable TLS for LDAP, it will not start.

I created sym links for the Lets Encrypt certs and everything correct in that regard.  The admin page is no longer showing the unsafe error, etc...

If I enable this in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf:

TLSCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail.crt
TLSCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail.crt
TLSCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/iRedMail.key

I get this error when restarting ldap:

vic@mail:~$ sudo systemctl restart slapd
Job for slapd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status slapd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Sym links are there.

root@mail:/etc/ssl/certs# ll | grep iRed
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     59 Feb 15 20:04 iRedMail.crt -> /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.domain.net/fullchain.pem
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   2236 Feb 14 04:08 iRedMail.crt.bak


root@mail:/etc/ssl/private# ll | grep iRed
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       57 Feb 15 20:04 iRedMail.key -> /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.domain.net/privkey.pem

----

Just tested this.. This does work for some reason:

TLSCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail.crt.bak
TLSCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail.crt.bak
TLSCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/iRedMail.key.bak


TIA

Re: Lets Encrypt with slapd

What's the owner/group/permission of directories below? Does OpenLDAP daemon user or group have permission to read the cert/key files?

/etc/letsencrypt/live
/etc/letsencrypt/archive

BTW, if you don't need to access openldap from another host, then better not enable SSL/TLS in OpenLDAP to avoid the service restart after cert renewed, local connections are considered as secure.

The private key from Lets Encrypt does not have read access for the world or group.. I did change it to test but it made no difference.

I am actually accessing from another host using Apache Directory Studio.

Re: Lets Encrypt with slapd

Check directory owner/group/permission with commands below:

ls -l /etc/letsencrypt/

OpenLDAP daemon user/group should have access to /etc/letsencrypt/live and /etc/letsencrypt/archive.

Re: Lets Encrypt with slapd

Does it work after setting permission with these commands?

chmod 0744 /etc/letsencrypt/{live,archive}
