Environment

  • Crowd Server or Data Center
  • LDAPS connector
    • IP Address used in place of hostname for connection details

Cause


  1. The directory is connecting via IP Address but the LDAP certificate has a hostname CN configured. 
  2. The LDAP certificate's CN does not match the hostname of the LDAP server.

Solution

  1. Have Crowd connect to the LDAP via the hostname configured in the LDAP certificate (Directories > directory-name > Connector > URL)
  2. Update the LDAP certificate to have a CN to match the hostname (likely requires reissuing certificate by the certificate authority)
