Configuring and updating LDAP servers

Use the following procedure to configure or update your LDAP server:

  1. Obtain the CRLs and ARLs in DER format from your Certification Authority, or Authorities.
  2. Using a text editor or the tool provided with your LDAP server, create one or more LDIF files that contain the Distinguished Name of the CA and the required object class definitions. Copy the DER format data into the LDIF file as the values of either the certificateRevocationList;binary attribute for CRLs, the authorityRevocationList;binary attribute for ARLs, or both.
  3. Start your LDAP server.
  4. Add the entries from the LDIF file or files you created at step 2.
Note:
Ensure that the access control list for your LDAP server allows authorized users to read, search, and compare the entries that hold the CRLs and ARLs. WebSphere(R) MQ accesses the LDAP server using the LDAPUSER and LDAPPWD properties of the AUTHINFO object.
