Configure LDAP using Secure LDAP

About this task

You can configure the Remote Control Server to connect to a LDAP server using an SSL (encrypted) connection. To do this complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. In the LDAP configuration wizard, in the Connection URL field, select the LDAPS (Secure LDAP) protocol. Example: Connection URL = ldaps://MyLdapServer
  2. Trust the certificate sent by the LDAP server. To do this, import the certificate into the Signer Certificates section of the Remote Control Server keystore. The default path of the keystore file is [server_installation]/wlp/usr/servers/trcserver/resources/security/key.jks. Otherwise, check the path of the keystore file specified in the configuration file [server_installation]/wlp/usr/servers/trcserver/ssl.xml. To import the certificate, perform the following steps:
    1. Launch the ikeyman tool under [server_installation]/java/jre/bin/.
    2. Select the Key Database File and open it.
    3. Select the Remote Control server keystore file and click OK.
    4. Select Signer Certificates.
    5. Click Add and select the certificate to import.
    6. Restart the Remote Control server service.
  3. To test the connection, in the LDAP configuration wizard, click Test Connection.

Results

If the configuration is correct, the connection test will be successful. If the LDAP syncronization is on, when the next time the synchronization task is run, the LDAP users will be imported and visible in the page Users - All Users.
