Security configuration of the directory server

Secure socket layer (SSL) communication is used between an LDAP server and Security Identity Manager to secure communications. We must configure the LDAP server to use SSL for secure communications. .

If we are using IBM Security Directory Server to store Security Identity Manager information, we must set the server to use SSL. Then we must configure the SSL certificates to use. This task can be done only after installing Security Identity Manager. If to configure LDAP only through an SSL connection, skip the LDAP configuration during the installation and run ldapConfig after the installation completes.

• Configuration of SSL for IBM Security Directory Server
  To have secure socket layer (SSL) communication between IBM Security Directory Server and Security Identity Manager, we must configure IBM Security Directory Server to listen on a port with a defined certificate. The certificate authority must be in the signer certificate database on the SSL client.
• Configuration of SSL for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition
  Security Identity Manager supports SSL communication with Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition. Oracle Directory Server comes pre-configured with SSL.
