Encryption Settings
All Netscape 4.0 and above servers support the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol
and PKCS #11 APIs for encryption communication. Encryption protects
communication between Administration Server and other servers from
eavesdropping and tampering. You need to configure the Administration Server
for SSL if it will communicate with SSL-enabled servers.
Before you can use SSL with Administration Server, you must first request and
install a certificate, and then activate SSL on the server. The following procedures
walk you through requesting and installing a certificate, as well as activating SSL
on an instance of Administration Server.
To Request and Install a Certificate for
Administration Server
1.
In the Netscape Console navigation tree, select the instance of Administration
Server that you want to install a certificate on.
2.
Click Open to open the management window for the instance of
Administration Server.
3.
In the Administration Server management window, open the Console menu,
and choose Security > Manage Certificates.
4.
Click the Request button, and then provide information as prompted.
See “Obtaining and Installing a Server Certificate” on page 183 for detailed
information.
5.
Once you have a certificate, click the Install button, and then provide
information as prompted.
See “Obtaining and Installing a Server Certificate” on page 183 for detailed
information.
Once you’ve installed a certificate, activate SSL as described in the next procedure.
