Custom Certificates

To secure a network endpoint you will require the following, as a minimum:

• A TLS certificate.
• A TLS key with a passphrase.

To ensure a Directory Server network endpoint is TLS secured with custom certificates, use ESCWA to perform the following steps:

1. In the top menu bar, click Native.
2. In the Native Navigation pane, expand Directory Server.
3. Click the directory server you require, then click Properties > Connection.

   This takes you to the Connection Properties page.

4. Check Enable TLS.
5. Check Use Custom Certificates
6. In the Certificate File field, type the location of the TLS certificate on the machine where this process runs.
7. In the Keyfile field, type the location of the TLS key on the machine where this process runs.
8. In the Keyfile Password field, type the TLS key passphrase.
9. Click Apply.
10. Restart the Directory Server process.
