Applies ToWindows 7 Windows Server 2008 R2

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory service is hosted on many nodes that are put behind a Network Load Balancing (NLB) server.

  • The nodes use Secure Socket Layer (SSL), and the nodes are configured to use an alias name.

  • You try to establish SSL connections to the nodes by using the alias name from the LDAP client computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

In this scenario, the operation fails, and you receive the following error:

<Result value="800B010F">The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value.</Result>

Additionally, the following Error event is logged in the System log:

Event Type: ErrorEvent Source: SchannelEvent ID: 36884Description: The certificate received from the remote server does not contain the expected name. It is therefore not possible to determine whether we are connecting to the correct server. The server name we were expecting is server_name. The SSL connection request has failed. The attached data contains the server certificate.

Cause

This problem occurs because of an error in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2. The LDAP client stores the node's canonical name in the alias field. This problem occurs if the node alias and the node name are different.
