Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Administration Reference

SSL to Access LDAP Server

Enables SSL access to the Directory Server specified in the Primary and Secondary LDAP Server and Port field. By default, the box is not checked and the SSL protocol will not be used to access the Directory Server.

If the LDAP Server is running with SSL enabled (LDAPS), you must make sure that OpenSSO Enterprise is configured with proper SSL trusted certificates so that AM could connect to Directory server over LDAPS protocol
