FreeNAS seems to be forcing me to provide some sort of certificate to be used in conjunction with a connection to an LDAP server. While I can change the controls on the LDAP server to allow TCP/389 easily enough (to avoid the LDAPS/636 certificate-based connection), FreeNAS still wants a cert to use with TLS. Every other networking type appliance out there has gone or is going the direction of not requiring the admin to jump through hoops when setting these kinds of connections up, so I am at a loss with understanding WHAT certificate to get a copy of and WHERE and HOW to store it on the FreeNAS box.
For reference, my LDAP server is an eDirectory (v9) box and I intend to load my users from there so as to simplify management of them across various systems (I have other appliances that use the directory).
If anyone can point me to useful directions on how to capture and upload / import the certificate on FreeNAS, I would appreciate it.
For those that are eDirectory-unaware, the certificates that are minted for the various servers and services in the tree are auto-created from the PKI services that are created when the tree is first instantiated. In other words, I won't have access to CSRs, private key passwords, etc. The best I could do would be to get a copy of the public certificate for the CA of the tree.
