RE: Having trouble with TLS and server verification

Hi, thanks for the info. I still have the same error with LDAPS instead of TLS. The behaviour is the same too, it works if I don't require verification, but fails if I do.

I thought I might be missing a module or something, but I am pretty sure I have all the prerequisites installed, including Digest::SHA, Digest::HMAC and IO::Socket::SSL. I'm kind of stuck. Has anyone ever had this problem before? I'm working with Perl 5.10 on SLES 11 SP1. My OpenSSL version is 0.9.8h.

start_tls is an extended operation on port 389 and ldap uri, use port
636 and ldaps uri.
