22.3 If You Don’t Want to Use eDirectory
Certificates
For most organizations, the eDirectory certificate solution in OES 2 is an ideal way to eliminate the
security vulnerabilities mentioned at the beginning of this chapter. However, some administrators,
such as those who have third-party keys installed on their servers, probably want to keep their
installed certificates in place.
You can prevent the use of eDirectory certificates for HTTPS services by making sure that the
option to use them is not selected on the first eDirectory configuration page. This might or might not
require that you change the eDirectory installation option, depending on your scenario.
Table 22-2 outlines the default setting for each scenario.
