LDAPS not working, due to cert error?

[gijs007]

I'm running into an issue when enabling LDAPS.

The LDAP login works fine when the following environmental variable is set:
LDAP_IGNORE_CERT_ERRORS="true"

However once I set it to false it fails with the following error:
Caught LDAPError while authenticating username: SERVER_DOWN({'result': -1, 'desc': "Can't contact LDAP server", 'ctrls': [], 'info': '(unknown error code)'})

I've mounted a BASE64 encoded certificate at the following path: /etc/ssl/certs/ca.domain.com.crt
The certificate is working to authenticate with the same LDAP server for a different tool we're using (Zabbix).

I can only guess that the path of the certificate is somehow wrong, what would be the right path for Netbox?

I think placing the certificate in this path only works if you run update-certificates after.
Have a look at this comment:
#799 (comment)

You can mount the certificate in a freely chosen place and then set the values mentioned.

This was indeed the issue. Can I contribute by updating the wiki?
It was quite a challenge to find all the information to secure Netbox, to get it up and running for a production environment inside Docker. I'd gladly share my findings to make installing it a smoother process for all.
