Configuring federated security

After you have installed the required file sets, you can configure the federated security features.

Configuring LDAP servers
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) defines a standard method for accessing and updating information in a directory, either locally or remotely in a client/server model.
Configuring peer-to-peer LDAP servers
If a prior LDAP server configuration doesn't exist, you can configure a new peer-to-peer LDAP server to replicate the configuration. Only LDAP servers based on the AIX® operating system are created.
Configuring LDAP clients
You must set up your LDAP client before you can configure it.
Creating an Encrypted File System
The Encrypted Files System (EFS) enables individual users on the system to encrypt their data on the J2 file system through their individual key stores.
