SSL AD Integration

Post by mcockram »

Trying to setup SSL AD integration and I get the below error. Can you please help resolve it?

Unable to authenticate: error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed (EE certificate key too weak)

What OS/version is your XI system running?

Code: Select all

uname -a
cat /etc/*release
php -v
The SSL settings on the XI system likely don't allow it.

A proper fix would be to regenerate the cert/key on your domain controller with a stronger certificate key to match what the newer XI server OS is requiring but there is likely a method to reduce the security level on the XI server OS (not something I generally recommend but may be needed in certain situations where you can't/don't want to update the domain controller's cert).

PM the full output of this command as well:
- Change X.X.X.X to the IP or DNS name of your domain controller

Code: Select all

echo 'DONE' | openssl s_client -showcerts -connect X.X.X.X:636

How do I reduce the security from an rhel side? I don't want to mess with the domain controller.

I'm not sure you'll be able to, you could try doing this:

Code: Select all

update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY 
reboot

Any updates on this issue? I am running into identical problem on rhel 8. Tried legacy mode update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY. Certificates from the AD seem to be working fine for the rest of the organization.

@basbb, I claimed the ticket you submitted and requested more information.

@mcockram did that resolve the issue for you or are you still having issues?
