Iphone and LDAP with SSL
Hi all
I am having a really annoying problem with my work iPhones where I am trying to do LDAP queries over SSL to Server 2008 Active Directory to get contact information. The problem is that plain LDAP works fine using the iPhone LDAP client. The issue arrises when turning on SSL. I have ensured that my Active Directory server can receive LDAP SSL requests and it definitly works fine (self-signed certificate). As soon as I turn SSL on, the connection fails. I have seen multiple threads on this issue without any resoultion that I can find:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2812226?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2559644?start=0&tstart=0
As a last resort, I have found an app called LDAPeople. I have tested this with LDAP SSL and this works no problem so it is definitly a problem with the native iPhone LDAP tool. Can anyone shed any light on this. I believe it might be something to do with self-signed certificates but not 100% sure. Has anyone managed to get around this problem at all or can give me any advice?
Many Thanks
