I put on Rancher host certificate

```
cert.crt

```

Launched Rancher database and certificate

```
sudo docker run -d --volumes-from rancher-data --restart=always -p 8080:8080 -v /etc/ssl/cert.crt:/ca.crt rancher/server:v0.44.0

```

Start scan logs

```
docker logs 7da2dadf2412

```

I got a line with an error

```

```

Please tell me what this could mean?

Is Rancher working with OpenLDAP?

As I understand the default scheme AD. OpenLDAP has a different scheme. Advise me please what scheme to use for OpenLDAP?
