Creating a Wallet for Certificate Files When Using LDAP Authentication with TLS

If you are using LDAP authentication with TLS, then you must use Oracle Wallet Manager to create a wallet to store the certificates required for TLS communications. This topic describes how to create the wallet, and how to enable TLS for the Siebel LDAP security adapter. For detailed information on using Oracle Wallet Manager, see Oracle® Database Advanced Security Administrator’s Guide.

By enabling TLS for the Siebel LDAP security adapter, an encrypted connection is established between the Siebel application and the LDAP server. For information on enabling TLS for an LDAP server, refer to your third-party LDAP server administration documentation. This topic assumes that the LDAP server is already TLS-enabled, that is, it accepts TLS connections.

This task is a step in Installing and Configuring Oracle LDAP Client Software.
