Domain management 39
Directory Settings (Directory Certificate) screen
Directory Certificates provide authentication of the Directory Server. There are two ways to verify the
identity of the Directory Server:
• Install certificates that complete a certificate chain to a root Certificate Authority.
• Install a certificate that exactly matches the certificate provided by the Directory Server.
To upload a certificate, select the certificate from the list, and then click Certificate Upload.
If no certificates are installed, the Directory Server is not authenticated (although the connection to the
Directory Server must be established using SSL).
The following table describes the columns within the Directory Settings (Directory Certificate) screen.
Column Description
MD5 Fingerprint
Unique fingerprint of the certificate, calculated using cryptographic hash
function Message-Digest algorithm 5 (MD5). This fingerprint can be used to
further verify that the correct certificate is being used.
Version Version of the certificate
Valid from The date and time when this certificate became valid
Valid until The date and time when this certificate becomes invalid
Delete Click X in the line of the certificate to delete.
Test LDAP authentication
Beginning with v1.31 of Virtual Connect Manager, local users can test their LDAP configuration before
making the configuration active.
To test an LDAP configuration:
1. Be sure that LDAP group settings are configured.
2. Be sure that any LDAP certificates are installed.
3. Access the Directory Settings (Directory Server) screen (on page 36).
4. Enter the LDAP configuration information.
5. Click Test.
6. Enter a valid username and password.
7. Click Test.
