Defect #27071
closedError testing LDAPS Connection: "Unable to connect (hostname X.X.X.X does not match the server certificate)"
0%
Description
I've migrated from a 2.4.2 Redmine server to a new 3.2.1.
Everything is working OK but failing to test LDAPS (LDAP + SSL) connections (LDAP connections without SSL are working OK).
I've tested with different users and different LDAP servers and always get the same result: auth_source form shows an error message: "Unable to connect (hostname X.X.X.X does not match the server certificate)".
I've not found relevant info in production.log file:

I've tested from SSL connections with openssl to LDAP connection with ldapsearch, and it not seems to be anything wrong.
Using the same users credentials and the same server connections (early configured into Redmine), with ldapseach goes everything OK.

Same problem with Redmine 3.2.3 on Ubuntu 16.10. For info, I'm also using Rhodecode on the same server which has no problem to connect to the LDAPS.
OpenSSL s_client also works after putting the LDAP certificate in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt.
This is really an issue for us since we want to use the same company accounts for Git and Redmine.

I updated net-ldap gem to 0.16 and it did not fix the issue.
