Configuring a Certificate Manager to Publish Certificates and CRLs
Chapter 19 Setting Up LDAP Publishing 637
During installation, the Certificate Manager automatically creates a set of mappers
that you would most likely want to use. The names of the default mappers are as
follows:
•
LdapUserCertMap
—for locating the correct attribute of user entries in the
directory in order to publish user certificates.
•
LdapCrlMap
—for locating the correct attribute of the CA’s entry in the
directory in order to publish the CRL.
•
LdapCaCertMap
—for locating the correct attribute of the CA’s entry in the
directory in order to publish the CA certificate.
Similar to mappers, the Certificate Manager also creates a set of publishers for your
convenience. The names of the default publishers are as follows:
• LdapCaCertPublisher
• LdapCrlPublisher
• LdapUserCertPublisher
The Certificate Manager also creates a set of publishing rules using the default
mappers and publishers. The names of these rules are as follows:
• LdapCrlRule
• LdapCaCertRule
• LdapUserCertRule
It is important that you review each of the default mappers, publishers, and
publishing rules and modify them as suitable. The instructions that follow explain
how to modify the default mappers, publishers, and publishing rules.
Modifying the Default Mappers
You can modify a mapper by editing its configuration parameter values; you
cannot change the name of a mapper. To change the name of a mapper, you need to
create a new mapper exactly like the mapper you want to rename, except with a
new name, and delete the old mapper.
To modify a mapper:
1.
Log in to the CMS window for the Certificate Manager (see “Logging In to the
CMS Window” on page 343).
2.
Select the Configuration tab.
