SSL connection between eDirectory and OpenLDAP

Question

I use a State Machine Driver to connect our eDirectory (Source) to a OpenLDAP Directory (Destination). Without SSL everything is fine...but only for testing.

Now i need to use SSL. I activated use-ssl (Driver Configuration -> Driver Parameters) and give the path to a keystore. I add a self-signed-certificate of the OpenLDAP-Server to the keystore.

After restarting the driver i get (servername replaced by xxxx):

 java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
16:12:15 FFFFFFFFFAA5D700 Drvrs: eDir-OpenLDAP PT:eDir-OpenLDAP: Schema.Schema() - LDAPException: Unable to connect to server xxxx:636 (91) Connect Error
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

I used /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/nds-modules/jre/lib/security/cacerts as keystore.

What could i try next to get the SSL-connection running?

Thank you for reading this question!

Answer 1

The problem is solved. Port 636 was closed on the destination server.

Thank you for the hint Bruno.
