Addtional Microsoft Active Directory settings
a. Set the following SCHANNEL settings listed in Table 43 to allow.
To support FIPS compliant TLS cipher suites on Microsoft’s Acitve Directory server, allow the
SCHANNEL settings listed in Table 43. Refer to the Microsoft website for instructions on how to
allow the SCHANNEL settings for the ciphers, hashes, key exchange and the TLS protocol.
b. Enable FIPS algorithm policy on the Microsoft Active Directory. Refer to to www.microsoft.com for
instructions.
LDAP certificates for FIPS mode
To utilize the LDAP services for FIPS between the switch and the host, you must generate a CSR on the
Active Directory server, import and export the CA certificates. To support server certificate validation, it is
essential to have the CA certificate installed on the switch and Active Directory server. Use the
secCertUtil to import the CA certificate to the switch. This will prompt for the remote IP and login
credentials to fetch the CA certificate. The CA certificate should be in any of the standard certificate
format, “.cer”, ”.crt” or “.pem”.
For storing and obtaining CA certificates, follow the instructions earlier in this section. LDAP CA certificate
file names should not contain spaces while using secCertUtil for import/export of the certificate.
Importing an LDAP switch certificate
This option imports the LDAP CA certificate from the remote host to the switch.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the secCertUtil import -ldapcacert command.
Example of importing an LDAP certificate
switch:admin> seccertutil import -ldapcacert
Select protocol [ftp or scp]: scp
Enter IP address: 192.168.38.206
Enter remote directory: /users/aUser/certs
Enter certificate name (must have ".crt" or ".cer" ".pem" suffix): LDAPTestCa.cer
Enter Login Name: aUser
Password: <hidden>
Success: imported certificate [LDAPTestCa.cer].
