LdapCaCertPublisher Publisher
The publisher named
LdapCaCertPublisher
is an instance of the
LdapCaCertPublisher
module. The Certificate Manager automatically creates
this publisher during installation.
You can use this publisher for publishing the CA certificate to
caCertificate;binary
attribute of the mapped CA’s entry in the directory.
LdapUserCertPublisher Plug-in Module
The
LdapUserCertPublisher
plug-in module implements the end-entity
certificate publisher. This module enables you to configure a Certificate Manager to
publish or unpublish a certificate to the
userCertificate;binary
attribute of the
mapped directory entry; the mapper must locate the correct entry so the publisher
can publish the certificate to the specified attribute. The certificate is published as a
DER encoded binary blob.
You can use this module to publish any end-entity certificate to an LDAP directory.
Types of end-entity certificates include SSL client, S/MIME, SSL server, object
signing, router, and OCSP responder.
During installation, the Certificate Manager automatically creates an instance
(called a publisher) of the
LdapUserCertPublisher
module for publishing
end-entity certificates to the directory. See “LdapUserCertPublisher Publisher” on
page 275.
