Configuration of security settings
This feature enables you to configure the security settings.
IBM® Security Verify Directory 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
IBM Security 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, refer to
keytool documentation.
