I am running PHP (on Apache/Windows) and I am trying to connect to a LDAP server to authenticate users. PHP’s LDAP plugin is just OpenLDAP.

While I’ve been successful in connecting to the LDAP server without SSL, I can’t do it WITH SSL. I know I got everything right, except OpenLDAP won’t connect to the server without the CA certificate. The connection fails and it gives me this error:

“error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed”

Now, I know I can suppress this behavior by setting TLS_REQCERT to “never” in the ldap.conf file. But the plugin on windows is just a dll file; and I have no idea on where to put the .conf file. Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance.
