How is LDAP secured?
To make communications with your LDAP directory server more secure, Directory Services can use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security. You can use SSL to communicate with LDAP clients, as well as with replica LDAP servers. SSL is the standard for Internet security. To use SSL, you must have Digital Certificate Manager (DCM), option 34 of IBM i, installed on your system. DCM provides an interface for you to create and manage digital certificates and key ring files. See Information Center for information on SSL. In ‘Information Center’ specify the release and language you want, expand ‘Networking’, then select ‘Directory Services (LDAP)’. Expand ‘Directory Services concepts and reference information’ and then expand ‘Managing ownership and access of directory data’.
