[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#412706: slapd: Connecting with Client certificates fails when _not_ run with -d2

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.30-4
Severity: important

I'm trying to get my clients to authenticate with Certificates. When
I set 'TLSVerifyClient try' the connection 'hangs' during the setup
phase ot the secure connection.
The funny thing is that when running slapd from a terminal with -d-1
makes it all work brilliantly. I first thought this was related with
the fact that it will not detach and run as root, but then I found 
out that the behaviour was dependent on the debug level. Only
if I include '2 -- debug packet handling' in the loglevel I can
succesfully authenticate with Certificates.

Because the debug output is so different when adding '2', it is hard to
compare logfiles. I grepped for 'TLS' to clean it up a bit. It seems
already early in the negotiation something goes wrong.

Loglevel 1 (fail):
TLS trace: SSL_accept:before/accept initialization
