Package: libnss-ldap
Version: 261-2.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I used to have the following lines in libnss-ldap.conf:

uri ldapi:/// ldaps://any.company.tld
ssl on

The idea was to use the local LDAP server if possible and fall back to
remote replicas if not, accessing them in a secure manner.

I noticed that my syslog was full of warnings about being unable to connect
to ldapi:///. Some stracing revealed that libnss-ldap was trying to use SSL
on the unix domain socket, which seems like a patently absurd idea to me and
also caused slapd to promptly drop the connection every time.

Attempting to enable starttls results in similar behaviour. Of course, even
if slapd were to somehow guess that somebody was trying to talk SSL to it on
a local socket, certificate verification would be bound to fail because
there is not hostname associated with the unix socket, and "no hostname"
doesn't match whatever is in the CN field of the certificate.

Of course, accessing the local server via tcp is a workaround, but it's
wasteful (and also presents problems when you want to use the same
libnss-ldap.conf on several computers).

Best regards,

Andras
