RE: Help needed on LDAP 6.0 SDK

Hi

I just get the error that the User Directory could not be contacted.
When I earlier used LDAP 5.2 binaries, it worked absolutely fine. But
after having upgraded to LDAP SDK 6.0.2, I have not been able to use SSL
over LDAP Directory Server. The nss version I used is 3.11.4 and nspr
version is 4.6.
I tried generating cert8.db using Mozilla Firefox 2.0, but the problem
persists. Please help.

Thanks
Saurabh

as Rich already mentioned NSS moved to new secdb format and now it is
cert8 which is incompatible with cert7 but NSS should create cert8 by
default automatically and use new db instead. to manage secdb you need
NSS sectools you can get from location Rich has mentioned, for usage &
help on them see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/
