SSL access on Novell eDirectory server

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) allows the data, which is transmitted between the ISAM services and the Novell eDirectory server, to be encrypted to provide data privacy and integrity.

Administrators must enable SSL to protect information, such as user passwords and private data. However, SSL is not required for ISAM to operate. If SSL is not required in the ISAM environment, skip this section.

ISAM supports server-side authentication with Novell eDirectory only. To configure the Novell eDirectory server for SSL, ensure the ConsoleOne tool is installed and complete the following sections. See the Novell product documentation.
