Using SSL to Communicate With LDAP

You should require your Administration Server to communicate with LDAP using SSL.

In this scenario Proxy Server acts as SSL client and must have imported the root CA certificate which signs SSL server LDAP certificate. In case the SSL certificate for LDAP was not issued by a well known CA, the CA root key used must be imported to Proxy Server key store.

To enable LDAP with SSL connection on your Administration Server

1. Access the Administration Server and click the Global Settings tab.

2. Click the Configure Directory Service link.

3. In the table that displays, click the link for the directory service.

   The Configure Directory Service page displays. If the LDAP-based directory service has not yet been created, select LDAP Server from the Create New Service of Type drop-down list, and then click New to configure the directory service. For more information about the specific fields that display for an LDAP-based directory service, see the online Help.

4. Select Yes to use SSL for connections, and then click Save Changes.
