Configuring Gateway Clients
40 Red Hat Directory Server Gateway Customization Guide • April 2005
Enabling SSL communications on the Directory Server is described in the Red Hat
Directory Server Administrator’s Guide. Information about managing key and certificate
databases is provided in Managing Servers with Red Hat Console.
Configuring the Gateway to Use SSL
The securitypath parameter specifies the location of the certificate database. For
example, you can specify the path to the certificate database as follows:
securitypath “/usr/redhat/servers/alias/slapd-testDir-cert8.db”
The following example shows the baseurl parameter configured to use ldaps (instead
of
ldap, the default) and standard SSL port number 636:
baseurl “ldaps://dirserver.example.com:636/o%3Dexample.com”
For more information about the baseurl parameter, see “baseurl,” on page 92.
Setting vCard Properties
Mappings between vCARD properties and LDAP attribute type are described in
“vcard-property,” on page 103.
Configuring Gateway Clients
The following sections describe how to configure clients of the gateway:
• Language Support for HTTP Clients
• Displaying a Non-English Alphabet
• Configuring Netscape 7.x for Preferred Language
• Customizing Communicator’s LDAP Settings
NOTE Before configuring SSL, verify that the gateway’s certificate database
contains a server certificate or Certificate Authority (CA) certificate
needed to communicate with the Directory Server.
