Identify the LDAP TLS Certificate file:

# cat | grep -i “^tls”

TLSCACertificatePath
TLSCACertificateFile

For each TLSCACertificateFile and TLSCertificateFile defined in the configuration file, verify the file permissions:

# ls -la

If the mode of the file is more permissive than 0644, this is a finding.
