Bug #5414
closedLDAP + TLS is not LDAP + TLS but LDAP + SSL
Description
Hi,
Today I configured our OpenLDAP server as a login source for foreman.
I checked the TLS checkbox, and found out it wasn't working. Without it, all was working fine.
There was an SSL error : The problem was solved by changing the port to 636 instead of 389.
In fact the LDAP auth backend doesn't use TLS, but SSL (aka LDAPS) and not LDAP+TLS (the ruby net/ldap module does not seem to support real TLS : http://net-ldap.rubyforge.org/Net/LDAP.html#method-i-encryption)
I think that the label should be changed to "SSL" or "LDAPS", or perhaps should you use the ldap:// ldaps:// syntax to be more clear ?
No big deal, of course, but it could save some time for users who will check their config several times before understanding the problem.
Best regards,
