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
