Step 12. You will be asked whether or not you want to start the client daemon. For
LDAP-UX Client B.03.20 or later versions, the client daemon must be
started for LDAP-UX functions to work. With LDAP-UX Client B.30.10
or earlier, the client daemon is optional, and should be turned on in order
to provide better prformance (response time) and for the X.500 group
membership to work.
Configure the LDAP-UX Client Serivces with
SSL Support
The LDAP-UX Client Services provides SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
support to secure communication between the LDAP client and the
Directory Server. The LDAP-UX Client Services supports SSL with
password as the credential, using either simple bind or DIGEST-MD5
authentication (DIGEST-MD5 for Netscape Directory Server only) to
ensure confidentiality and data integrity between clients and servers.
With SSL support, the LDAP-UX Clients provides a secure way to
protect the password over the network, This allows the directory
administrator has the choice in selecting authentication mechanism,
such as using simple password stored in the directory server as a hash
syntax.
The LDAP-UX Client Services supports Microsoft Windows 2000/2003
Active Directory Server (ADS) and Netscape Directory Server (NDS)
over SSL. For detailed information on how to set up and configure your
Netscape Directory Server to enable SSL communication over LDAP, see
“Managing SSL Chapter” in the Administrator’s Guide for Netscape
Directory Server at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/
