I have been working on this issue for three days now and no matter what I do, I can not get this LDAP issue fixed.
We have a brand new domain controller in our org, and all I want to do is enable LDAPS authentication. This should be a simple process and for whatever reason it is not.
Using Nettools, it clearly shows that port 636 is open on this DC, so it's not a network issue.
I do, however, constantly get error 1220 in the event log:
LDAP over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) will be unavailable at this time because the server was unable to obtain a certificate.
Additional Data
Error value:
8009030e No credentials are available in the security package
I do however very clearly have certificates installed on the server and they are on my local machine I'm testing from too. It just doesn't work. I've tried installing the AD CS role, nothing. Right now i'm using self signed certs and CAs from openssl on another machine, and even that won't work. The server just will not use the cert i'm providing for LDAPS.
Keep in mind, my testing is done from mmc.exe as this server is running datacenter 2019 core (no desktop)
Here's some errors I get with these certs:
This root certificate appears to be trusted by the remote computer. To ensure this root certificate is valid on the remote computer, verify this root certificate on that computer.
It should be? How do I verify this without a GUI
This CA Root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.
Okay but it IS in the trusted root certification authorities store. What?
I even followed this guide step by step, nothing. https://help.hostingcontroller.com/Enterprise/default.aspx
I should add, this is the bind error I get:
ld = ldap_sslinit("dc-prime.compasshealthcenter.net", 636, 1);
Error 81 = ldap_set_option(hLdap, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
Error 81 = ldap_connect(hLdap, NULL);
Server error: <empty>
Error <0x51>: Fail to connect to dc-prime.compasshealthcenter.net.
Genuinely no idea what to do next. Any help is heavily appreciated.

Hello @Riley Magnuson ,
The LDAP server does not need just a suitable certificate - it also needs the private key that matches the certificate. From what you have written, it seems possible that a missing private key is part of the problem.
Gary
There is a valid private key on the store.
UPDATE 1:
I went thru the processes of removing all extraneous certs from my testing, removing the CA roles, restarting, and adding them back. Now I am able to connect with NetTools, but there's a cert chain issue it seems and I'm not sure how to resolve this. Heres the error:

Any idea what's gone wrong here? How do I identify what the revocation server is? From what I understand, that's the CA server I just installed and it's very clearly online.
Hello @Riley Magnuson ,
In the "certutil -verify" output, the certificate seems to have an issuer of "CN=dc-prime.compasshealthcenter.net, DC=compasshealthcenter, DC=net" and a subject of "CN=DC-PRIME.compasshealthcenter.net" (i.e. a similar but different name) and the main problem seems to be that certutil can't find a certificate with a subject name of "CN=dc-prime.compasshealthcenter.net, DC=compasshealthcenter, DC=net".

Hello @Riley Magnuson ,
Thank you for posting here.
Hope the information above provided by GaryNebbett is helpful to you.
If it is a sign-self cert:
"Isssue by" and "Issue to" is the same.
"Issuer" and "Subject" is the same.
Certificate Chain is only one.
For example, in my lab:
Hope the information above is helpful.
Should you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.

Hi Riley,
The error ERR: 0x40 - The revocation status of the certificate or one of the certificates in the certificate chain is unknown, happens when the revocation test is unable to connect and\or download the CRL specified in the CRL Distribution Point specified in the dc-prime certificate.
Confirm that the CRL URL accessible from the workstation connecting to the server.
