Client authentication

 

Many applications allow the option to enable client authentication. With client authentication, the server will ensure that the client certificate is valid and that it is signed by a Certificate Authority which the server trusts.

The following System i™ applications support client authentication:

• IBM^® HTTP Server (powered by Apache)

• FTP server

• Telnet server

• Management Central endpoint system

• Directory Server (LDAP)
