Bug Description

Network Authentication >> OpenLDAP Server says in a couple of places:
sudo chgrp ssl-cert /etc/ssl/private/ldap01_slapd_key.pem
However, what's missing here is that the 'private' directory should also belong to 'ssl-cert'.
sudo chgrp ssl-cert /etc/ssl/private
sudo chmod g+r /etc/ssl/private
Otherwise, secure ldpa will not work because
drwx--x--- 2 root root private
and ss-cert cannot access this directory even if ldap private key is owned by ssl-cert group.

Confimed. If you don't do that, you will get a cryptic error like:

ldap_modify: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80)
