Configuration of SSL for IBM Security Directory Server
To have secure socket layer (SSL) communication between IBM Security Directory Server and Security Identity Manager, you 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.
Use GSKit to create the key database file and certificates. Make sure to extract the server certificate (the one created for the LDAP server) for client use. The certificate must be copied to the system where Security Identity Manager is running. The location of the server certificate is required to set up a trusted certificate for Security Identity Manager in a later task.
For more information about activating SSL on LDAP for IBM Security Directory Server, see the documentation available in the IBM Security Directory Server section of the IBM Knowledge Center..
