Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 3
Situation
After installing OES2sp3 (fresh sp3 install or upgrade) into tree, the following message is seen periodically:
Oct 6 15:45:01 server2 /usr/sbin/namcd[27870]: nam_ldap_init: Retrieval of trusted root cert failed. Make sure you have LDAP server certificate in /var/lib/novell-lum directory.
When it appears, it will be logged once for each LDAP server defined in /etc/nam.conf.
Resolution
This is fixed with novell-lum-2.2.0.18-0.34.<arch>.rpm or later and is first included with January 2012 maintenance for OES2SP3.
Additional Information
When the server was first upgraded, the following was observed in /var/log/messages:
Oct 5 08:45:09 server2 namgroupadd: init_ldapconn: Retrieval of trusted root cert failed. Make sure you have LDAP server certificate in /var/lib/novell-lum directory
Oct 5 08:45:09 w34f342 namgroupadd: store_cert: Storing Certificate /var/lib/novell-lum/.10.20.30.40 10.30.40.50.der in local Workstation
Oct 5 08:45:09 w34f342 namgroupadd: store_cert: Storing Certificate /var/lib/novell-lum/.10.20.30.40 10.30.40.50.der in local Workstation
Upon inspection of /var/lib/novell-lum, valid certificate files (.der) were found -- all the same size and greater than 0 bytes. Additionally, there was a .der file with a concatenation of all of the ldap server addresses in the directory (i.e. .10.20.30.40 10.30.40.50.der )
