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.
If no certificates are installed, no authentication of the Directory Server is performed (although the

connection to the Directory Server must be established using SSL).
The following table describes the columns within the Directory Settings (Directory Certificate) screen.
