Reference

Table 6-1 Elements for the Authentication Mode (continued)

Element	Description
Password	Enter the password that is associated with the Administrator DN.
	This field is available to you only after you choose LDAP mode or federation mode and
	uncheck the Anonymous check box.
Use SSL Encryption	The check box to enable or disable encrypted sign-on. This check box is available to you only
	when you use LDAP mode or federation mode.
	Note Whenever you enable SSL, you must restart Web Services (Tomcat) from AAI. And if your DMM
	server is one half of a failover pair, the Tomcat restart will trigger immediate failover.
	• Check the check box to enable encryption.
	• Uncheck it to disable encryption.
	Enabling SSL causes the connections between your DMM appliance and your Active Directory
	server to use LDAPS. An LDAPS connection is suitable when you want to prevent untrusted
	third parties from reading credentials that the servers exchange.
Active Directory	Helps you to upload the digital certificate that your Active Directory server uses for LDAPS
Certificate File	communications. This field is available to you only while the Use SSL Encryption check box
	is checked.
Command Buttons
Update	Saves and applies your work on the Authentication Mode property sheet.
Cancel	Discards your work on the Authentication Mode property sheet and resets all values to their
	previous configuration.
