certmap.conf

Purpose

Configures how a certificate, designated by name, is mapped to an LDAP entry, designated by issuerDN.

Location

server_root/userdb

Syntax

certmap name issuerDNname:property1 [value1]
name:property2 [value2]
...

The default certificate is named default, and the default issuerDN is also named default. Therefore, the first certmap defined in the file must be as follows:

certmap default default
