Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services

Configure the LDAP-UX Client Serivces with SSL Support

 

 

Configuring the LDAP-UX Client to Use SSL

 

 

You can choose to enable SSL with LDAP-UX when you run the setup

 

 

program. If you attempt to use SSL, you must install Certificate

 

 

Authority (CA) certificate on your LDAP-UX Client and configure your

 

 

LDAP directory server to support SSL before you run the setup program.

 

 

 

NOTE

 

If you already have the certificate database files, cet7 or cert8.db and

 

 

key3.db, on your client for your HP-UX applications, you can simply

 

 

create a symbolic link /etc/opt/ldapux/cert7.db that points to cert7.db

 

 

or /etc/opt/ldapux/cert8.db that points to cer8.db and

 

 

/etc/opt/ldapux/key3.db that points to key3.db.

 

 

You can Download the certificate database from the Netscape

 

 

 

 

Communicator or Mozilla browser to set up the certificate database into

 

 

your LDAP-UX Client.

 

 

Steps to Download the CA Certificate from Mozilla Browser

 

 

The following steps show you an example on how to download the

 

 

Certificate Authority (CA) certificate on your client system using Mozilla

 

 

browser 1.4 for HP-UX:

Step

1.

Log in to your system as root.

Step

2.

Use Mozilla browser to connect to your Certificate Authority Server.

 

 

The following shows an example of using a link to connect to your

 

 

Certificate Authority Server:

 

 

https://CA servername:port number/ca/

Step

3.

Click the retrieval tab in the Netscape certificate management window

 

 

screen.

Step

4. Click the “import CA certificate chain” link to take you to the “import CA

 

 

certificate chain” window screen.

Step

5.

Check the “import the CA certificate chain into your browser” check box

 

 

in the “import CA certificate chain” window screen. Then, click the

 

 

submit button.
