Anyone else getting this error when attempt to bind from a client to a lion server with a self-signed SSL certificate (created in server.app >> hardware >> etc.) and applied to OD in server admin >> OD >> ldap >> SSL enable)?

Code:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3958

Does NOT fix the issue.

I've tried a manual bind and was not successful.

Code:
/usr/sbin/dsconfigldap -f -v -e -a SERVER -u diradmin -c CLIENT -l localadmin

Not having a ton of joy with Lion Server. I am struggling each step of the way, it seems.

How do you enter SERVER name?

Have you tried using server-name.local for SERVER?
Seems to help some according to Google.

Hi Jopernikus,

Thank you for your response.

.local did not work... nor did manually adding the server to the search policy.

I spent 3 hours on the phone with AppleCare rebuilding the server from the ground up and at the end we were still not able to bind with SSL (brand new certificate, brand new DNS, brand new OD, NOT brand new install of Lion).

There was some side commentary that the SSL works fine with the iCal et al., but they've continued to have mystery problems with OD.

Oh, but for $695 he would be happy to send it on to Engineering Support.

Joy!

rename client computer

This happened to me also. i got it fixed by renaming my client computer to a new name. Somehow there was something wrong with it. go to sharing
and give it a new computer name see if that helps.

interesting - you are thinking the machine has a cached certificate that has expired?

renaming didn't work, but I will try re-imaging the system (client) and try from scratch.

thanks for the input!

Update: Didn't work, had to join the OD as a non-trusted source...
