Configuration of security settings
This feature enables you to configure the security settings.
Directory Server has the ability to protect LDAP access by encrypting data with either Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) security or Transaction Layer Security (TLS) or both. When using SSL or TLS to
secure LDAP communications with the Directory Server, both server authentication and client
authentication are supported. See Secure Sockets Layer and Transaction Layer Security for more information.
Note: To use SSL or TLS you
must have GSKit installed on your system.
Before you can use SSL or TLS you must first use GSKit to create the key database file and
certificates. To know about creating Certificate Management Services (CMS) key databases using the
GSKit command line utility, see The gskcapicmd tool. To manage key databases
other than CMS or PKCS11, see The iKeyman tool.
