LDAP::Error: SSL_connect - certficate verify failed

For the life of me, I can’t find my problem. I could use a sanity check to see if I am missing something.

I am connecting gitlab-ce to an AD box over ldap. The AD box contains our CA and Sub-CA. I have imported the certs for both into /etc/gitlab/trusted-certs. Here are some files and various outputs (changed some info to preserve private information):

NOTE: secure ldap searches over 636 return with success (actual ldap search command removed to sanitize):

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success
# numResponses: 1

Error on the webpage when trying to login with AD user

Could not authenticate you from Ldapmain because "Ssl connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed".

I moved to insecure LDAP because I was tired of messing with this.

IIRC openssl uses a different certificate verify method than the LDAP connection itself does.

I disabled my ssl_verify because I was sick of looking at it. Only a few people use the system anyway.

Hello everybody,

I am facing the same issue.
Upgrade from 10.7.3 to 10.8.0 (Omnibus on Ubuntu).

Where exactly did you disable this?
