Signer certificates establish the trust relationship
in SSL communication. The signer certificate determines whether a
user certificate is accepted. After a signer certificate is accepted,
the LDAP server looks up the user in the registry. If the user is
found, the Rational® ClearQuest® Web logon window
opens.
