Step by step procedure

Enabling SSL on Novell eDirectory LDAP Server

Start the Novell management application ConsoleOne and locate the LDAP Server item in eDirectory.

Figure 6: eDirectory shown in Novell ConsoleOne with the LDAP Server on server SRVNW6.

Access the properties of the LDAP Server. Several attributes deal with the configuration of the SSL support of the LDAP Server.

Figure 7: Novell ConsoleOne: LDAP Server SSL attributes.

1. LDAP Enable SSL: Set to true to enable SSL support for the Novell eDirectory server.
2. LDAP SSL Port: The TCP port used to access the LDAP Server. Default LDAP SSL port: 636.
3. LDAP:keyMaterialName: The name of the SSL certificate used by the LDAP Server. By default, a certificate is specified that is issued by the Certification Authority of the Novell eDirectory server.

By default, the SSL support is enabled on port 636 and a certificate is configured. If you want to use a different port or certificate, you need to update the attributes.
