LDAP Server Settings (LDAP Certificate) screen
Use this screen to manage LDAP server certificates.
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. The URL field
accepts IPv4 or IPv6 IP addresses. If you are using an IPv6 address, you must put brackets around the IPv6
address in the ftp/tftp/http URL to return the correct data. For example,
ftp://user1:mypass@[2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:43]. 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 LDAP Server Settings (LDAP 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
