I was read few suggestion from this and many others forums and try to fix problem on my own, but without result. I need to add cert to ldap and always it return error 80.

I was add permission to folder with ldap:

ls -la /etc/apache2/ssl/
razem 16
drwxrwxr-- 2 root root 4096 cze 29 12:52 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 lip  2 10:33 ..
-rwxrwxr-- 1 root root 1545 gru 22  2017 od.censored.pl.crt
-rwxrwxr-- 1 root root 1704 gru 22  2017 od.censored.pl.key

I was check permission to temp directory:

ls -la /var/lib/lda*
razem 708
drwxr-xr-x  2 openldap openldap     4096 lip  2 10:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 79 root     root         4096 cze 30 09:06 ..

The certs.ldif looks:

cat -n certs.ldif 
     1  dn: cn=config
     2  changetype: modify
     3  replace: olcTLSCertificateFile

     7  changetype: modify
     8  replace: olcTLSCertificateKeyFile
     9  olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/apache2/ssl/od.censored.pl.key

But I see error over and over:

Please for any suggestion how to fix it.

The issue is big problem for me, because I can't finish configuration of necessary server, please for help.


If openldap is the system user for running OpenLDAP's slapd this ownership/permission listed in your question does not allow slap to read the server certificate and private key:

ls -la /etc/apache2/ssl/
razem 16
drwxrwxr-- 2 root root 4096 cze 29 12:52 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 lip  2 10:33 ..
-rwxrwxr-- 1 root root 1545 gru 22  2017 od.censored.pl.crt
-rwxrwxr-- 1 root root 1704 gru 22  2017 od.censored.pl.key

In opposite to e.g. Apache slapd initializes the SSLContext after setuid() call even when using static config file. And with dynamic configuration (cn=config) it has to read the files during processing your LDAP modification anyway.

Therefore try this to fix group ownership:

chgrp -R openldap /etc/apache2/ssl

And also remove unneeded exec permission:

chmod 0640 /etc/apache2/ssl/od.censored.pl.crt /etc/apache2/ssl/od.censored.pl.key

Ubuntu 16.04 - apparmor doesn't like the certs to be elsewhere for slapd

From our logs

audit: type=1400 audit(1576557786.149:51): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/usr/sbin/slapd" name="/usr/local/etc/ssl_certs/our.pri_key" pid=15900 comm="slapd" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=114 ouid=0

Fixed by disabling apparmor for slapd and rebooting

root@alc-jw-test5:~# ls -l /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.sbin.slapd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Dec 17 15:43 /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.sbin.slapd -> /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.slapd

I solved the problem just use in the correct order first key then cert. And it worked for me.

dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcTLSCertificateKeyFile
olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/openldap/certs/myldap.kart.com.key
