Traffic between my dokuwiki and domain controller (for authentication), since LDAP is sent in the clear. I suppose I could use Let's Encrypt to give the domain controller a certificate, so the certificate it presents to dokuwiki is from a trusted root CA. Or I issue and install certs with our internal CA that's already in place.
I don't believe you need a client certificate for LDAPS, not a registered one. Just used a self signed one.
That's what I would guess.

I'm trying to find documentation on it. But really it's just LDAP riding over SSL. So no special certificates or anything are really needed.

@scottalanmiller The other part of the problem is there are two things I'm wanting to secure.
-
Traffic from client to my dokuwiki, which I agree can be easily accomplished with Lets Encrypt, despite this site not being public-facing.

I suppose there's a third option as well, which is what was mentioned yesterday: Do I really care that AD credentials are sent in the clear if this traffic is only on my local network (or travelling to a user at home over a VPN tunnel)? Which, for me, the answer is "yes." I don't think it's a good idea to pass credentials in the clear over a network in general.
For point 1 you can do any cert. but LE is the only one I would ever use.

Or maybe a 4th option and figure out how to authenticate against AD using kerberos.
Is there another way?
Is there? If so, enlighten me, so I'm not putting effort toward negative learning.

I think just LDAPS.

I'm pretty sure with Dokuwiki you set StartTLS = 1. You may need the openssl library installed first but I'm pretty sure it is that easy.
-
@coliver Since you mentioned possibly just needing a self-sign cert, that's what I'm thinking as well. We're about to find out.

That's what I would guess. Generating a very of any sort is weird for this.

This would be a good how to thread by-the-by.

Heading home from whisky stuff.

First test = failure. But it seems to follow what we think. The failure came from the fact that the dokuwiki's server doesn't trust the CA of the cert that my domain controller is presenting -- which is what I expected.

Just steer clear of all parking garages.

How do you do LE for internal only servers? I didn't think that was supported?

I'm actually work (slowly) on a behind-the-couch table that will have compartments for phone chargers and remote control storage.

I was thinking of finding someone who could make me a very high quality coffee table and then mounting a Touchscreen monitor under it but I don't know how to deal with temperatures and I don't know a lot about the different types of glass, sensitivity etc. Hot beverages vs cold beverages, that kind of thing. It would be a really cool project though.

Hrm... I may just have to change my litter box, that looks so much easier to deal with.

@wirestyle22 @travisdh1 You should try CitiKitty. No more litter.

Really hard to train an adult cat to do that. A young cat definitely.
