LoginLdap with SSL

Hi,

I’m having issues with the ldap plugin connecting over SSL. It works fine on the default port 389, I can sync users and login. But when I move to ldaps://server.domain.com port 636, I get “Could not bind as ldap admin” on the web ui. And when i run the ./console loginldap:synchronize-users -vvv it says “Can’t contact LDAP server”.

I have many other webservers that can bind with ldaps to this domain controller. I am able to bind with ldapsearch over SSL. But can’t seem to figure out why Matomo isn’t working.

Any pointers or help debugging would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

EDIT:
Looking at it again, I went back and checked that this works
ldapsearch -H ‘ldaps://server.com:636’ -b -s sub -D user@server.com -W (objectclass=Person)

So that tells me the ldap.conf is correctly pointed to my .pem.

Back in Matomo, I configure the server for ldaps and port 636 and it still says unable to bind ldap admin, HOWEVER when i run the synchronize-users it succeeds. I still cannot login with ldap credentials to the webui.

success!

Synchronized 2 users!

Finally resolved by adding “TLS_REQCERT never” to my ldap.conf. This disables checking the FQDN of the server matches the cert.
