Setting up encrypted LDAP connections

1. Download the root certificate attached to this page and save it somewhere in your home directory (e.g. /home/username/.certs/dal_ldap.pem). It is the certificate UCIS uses to issue the server certificates for their LDAP servers.
2. Create a file .ldaprc in your home directory with the following content:

   TLS_CACERT /path/to/dal_ldap.pem
   

3. Make sure everything is working by running:

   ldapsearch -ZZ -h ldap.dal.ca -x -b 'dc=dal,dc=ca' '(uid=obaltzer)' dn
   

   If you do not get an error and something like:

   # numResponses: 2
   # numEntries: 1
   

   then it is working.
4. Now, checkout your latest version of TE2 and try to login. If there is something wrong, you should get an error message.
