14.In the User DS tab, select the Set User Directory radio button, and fill in the Directory Server secure port information, the LDAP URL, and the user database information. Check the Secure Connection checkbox.

15.Save the new TLS/SSL settings and Configuration DS and User DS information in the Administration Server Console.

16.Restart the Directory Server. The server must be restarted from the command line. 2

When the server restarts, it prompts for the PIN or password to unlock the key database. This is the same password used when the server certificate and key were imported into the database.

To restart the Directory Server without the password prompt, create a PIN file or use a hardware crypto device. See Section 4.3, “Creating a Password File for the Directory Server” for information on how to create a PIN file.

NOTE

When next logging into the Directory Server Console, be certain that the address reads https; otherwise, the operation will time out, unable to find the server since it is running on a secure connection. After successfully connecting, a dialog box appears to accept the certificate. Click OK to accept the certificate (either only for that current session or permanently).

4.3. Creating a Password File for the Directory Server

It is possible to store the certificate password in a password file. By placing the certificate database password in a file, the server can be started from the Directory Server Console and also restarted automatically when running unattended.
