Environment

Novell NetWare 6.0
Novell NetWare 6.0 Support Pack 2
Novell eDirectory 8.6 for All Platforms

Situation

Configuring SSL and when browsing for the proper SSL certificate nothing shows up.
Setting up SSL listener on port 636 gives error PN_SSLInitPort: SAS CryptInit returned (-11)
TCPCON doesn't show the server listening on port 389
Can't make an authenticated connection with LDAP using SSL
LDAP Server object, selecting a Server Certificate, Nothing shows up in the Select SSL Certificate window

Resolution

LDAP looks at the "NDSPKI:key Material DN" attribute on the SAS object for the same that LDAP is running on. If you can't select the SSL certificate in the properties of the LDAP server then SAS Service object is corrupted and you will need to delete it and recreate it.
To delete the object go into console one right click the SAS Service object for the server and select delete. Before recreating the object you make sure the obitituary clears. Once the object has been deleted, go to the server console and run PKIDIAG.NLM (PKIDIAG.NLM will require you to login with rights). Once you have logged into PKIDIAG choose option 4 and then 0. The repair should recreate a new SAS object in DS.
Download PKIDIAG.NLM from https://support.novell.com/filefinder .
