Novell LDAP C# - Novell.Directory.Ldap - Has anybody made it work?

I\'m trying to use the library released by Novell (Novell.Directory.Ldap). Version 2.1.10.

What I\'ve done so far:

• I tested the connection with an appl

Answer 1

I had gone through this scenario, for me Novell LDAP service running in Kubernetes container. I tried adding CA certificate to the Mono trust store, which will add the file inside "/usr/share/.mono/certs/Trust" in linux container. But nothing did work, still Novell connect not successful for LDAP 636 port.

Finally I made it work in below way:

LdapConnection Connection = new LdapConnection();
    Connection.SecureSocketLayer = true;
    Connection.UserDefinedServerCertValidationDelegate += new
            Novell.Directory.Ldap.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(LdapSSLHandler);

    public bool LdapSSLHandler(object sender, System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate certificate, System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Chain chain,
                  System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
    {
        if (sslPolicyErrors == sslPolicyErrors.None)
        {
            return true;   //Is valid
        }

        if (certificate.GetCertHashString() == "YOUR CERTIFICATE HASH KEY") // Thumbprint value of the certificate
        {
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
