Install Certificates for LDAPS on the Application Server

To connect your WebCenter installation to a secure LDAP server (LDAPS), you have to install a certificate obtained from that LDAPS server.

  1. Open a command prompt on the WebCenter Application Server.
  2. Change directory to the location of \WebCenter\ApplicationServer\LDAP\CertInstall.bat.
  3. Issue the following command: CertInstall servername:port, where servername is the name or IP of the LDAP server and port is the port used for secure connection (typically 636).



    If successful, a list of certificates sent by the server is displayed (ignore any additional messages).





  4. To install a given certificate, enter its number in the list and press Enter.

    We suggest that you install all certificates. Only one certificate can be installed each time you run CertInstall so it can be necessary to run it multiple times.





Note:
