Address Book + LDAP + SSL Problem
We would like to make the Address Book use our new LDAP service. This seems to work as long as we don't use the SSL option for secure connections to the LDAP server.
As soon as we use SSL (port 636 instead of 389) the connection to the LDAP server fails (the Address Book itself though only displays "No matches found").
When we use third party LDAP Browsers (Jxplorer) or Thunderbird's address book on on the same computer everything works perfectly. However, for these programs to work we had to import the CA that was used to sign the certificate on the LDAP server.
Of course we did the same thing for the Apple Keychain. So the CA now is among the X509Anchors. But still it doesn't work with the Apple Address Book and the Console always has an entry like:
ldap starttls: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
2005-12-15 16:05:52.482 Address Book[22293] [COMPANY-LDAP] Binding to server did not complete successfully: '-1:Can't contact LDAP server'
Any ideas what the problem is or how to debug the problem?
