Before configuring any of the PTA Plug-in parameters, the PTA Plug-in entry must be present in
the Directory Server. If this entry does not exist, create it with the appropriate syntax, as
described in Section 2, “PTA Plug-in Syntax”.

If the user and configuration directories are installed on different instances of the
directory, the PTA Plug-in entry is automatically added to the user directory's
configuration and enabled.
This section provides information about configuring the plug-in in the following sections:
• Section 3.1, “Turning the Plug-in On or Off”
• Section 3.2, “Configuring the Servers to Use a Secure Connection”
