14.12.1.5. LdapDeltaCrlPublisher

The

LdapDeltaCrlPublisher

plug-in module configures a Certificate Manager to publish or

unpublish a delta CRL to the

deltaRevocationList;binary

attribute of a directory entry.

During installation, the Certificate Manager automatically creates an instance of the

LdapDeltaCrlPublisher

module for publishing CRLs to the directory.

Parameter

Description

crlAttr

Specifies the directory attribute of the mapped
entry to which the Certificate Manager
should publish the delta CRL. This must be

deltaRevocationList;binary

.

Table 14.8. LdapDeltaCrlPublisher Configuration Parameters

14.12.1.6. LdapCertificatePairPublisher

The

LdapCertificatePairPublisher

plug-in module configures a Certificate Manager to publish

or unpublish a cross-signed certificate to the

crossCertPair;binary

attribute of the CA's directory

entry.

The module also converts the object class of the CA's entry to a

certificationAuthority

, if it

is not used already. Similarly, it also removes the

certificationAuthority

object class when

unpublishing if the CA has no other certificates.

During installation, the Certificate Manager automatically creates an instance of the

LdapCertificatePairPublisher

module named

LdapCrossCertPairPublisher

for

publishing the cross-signed certificates to the directory.

Parameter

Description

crossCertPairAttr

Specifies the LDAP directory attribute to
publish the CA certificate. This must be

crossCertificatePair;binary

.

caObjectClass

Specifies the object class for the CA's
entry in the directory. This must be

certificationAuthority

.

Table 14.9. LdapCertificatePairPublisher Parameters

14.12.1.7. OCSPPublisher

The

OCSPPublisher

plug-in module configures a Certificate Manager to publish its CRLs to an

Online Certificate Status Manager.

The Certificate Manager does not create any instances of the

OCSPPublisher

module at installation.

Parameter

Description

host

Specifies the fully qualified hostname of the
Online Certificate Status Manager.

port

Specifies the port number on which the Online
Certificate Status Manager is listening to the
Certificate Manager. This is the Online Certificate
Status Manager's SSL port number.
