Java code Not able to connect with secure openldap?


I created a Certificate for OpenLdap with following command

openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /etc/openldap/certs/ldap.crt -keyout /etc/openldap/certs/ldap.key -days 1460

Did rest of settings and i am able to connect Openldap via Apache Directory Studio with Port 636.

Now Challenge is that i wrote a Simple Java Program to connect with Openldap and do some basic operation like Create user/Create Group/Delete etc.Before that i import the certificate in local machine Java Keystore via keytool command

keytool -import -noprompt -trustcacerts -alias "ldap1" -file ldap.crt -keystore "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_221\jre\lib\security\cacerts"

It Successfully added

Now in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file made a entry for <IP-ADDRESS> HOSTNAME but Java program throwing error

Solution

  • After couple of days struggle issue resolved with the help of InstallCert and it worked perfectly .What i did ?

    1. Download the InstallCert project

    2. Compile the java file javac InstallCert.java

    3. Access the server and try to get Certificate java InstallCert <IP ADDRESS>:<PORT> Give Ip address/Port from where you want to download the server,in my case its Openldap server details.

    4. Extract certificate from created jssecacerts keystore keytool -importcert -alias "1xx.2xx.1xx.97-1" -keystore "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_221\lib\security\cacerts" -storepass changeit -file surerest2 here 1xx.2xx.1xx.97-1 this port number and surerest2 is hostname

    5. Import certificate into system keystore keytool -importcert -alias "1xx.2xx.1xx.97-1" -keystore /workspace/tools/jdk/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.25.x86_64/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -file surerest2

      And this changes worked perfectly
