Mappers translate objects (such as certificates) in the internal database into some
other form for publishing. You will configure an LDAP mapper to translate the
user name in a client certificate request to a distinguished name (DN) in the
publishing directory.
Publishers are objects that actually publish the data. You will not configure the
publisher here, but the
LdapUserCertPublisher
finds the DN that the mapper
produces and adds a
certificate
attribute to its entry. The value of the attribute,
of course, is the client certificate (in a binary form).
Rules coordinate the use of a mapper with a publisher for objects that meet certain
conditions. The conditions may simply require a certain type of object (such as a
client certificate). A condition may also assert some additional requirement (a
predicate) that must be true about that type of object in order to invoke the rule.
You will not configure any rules in this example. By default, the Certificate
Manager uses a rule to coordinate the
LdapUserCertMap
and the
LdapUserCertPublisher
for publishing client certificates.
Configure the Publishing Destination
To enable publishing and configure the directory where certificates will be
published:
1.
If the CMS window is not still open, start Netscape Console again (or go back
to the main Console window) and open the window for Certificate
Management System.
2.
Expand the Certificate Manager node and select Publishing.
3.
Select the Enable Publishing and Enable LDAP Publishing options.
4.
Enter information in the Destination area to identify the directory to which you
want to publish (use the configuration directory, where User Two’s entry is
stored):
Host Name:
<machine_name>.<your_domain>.<domain>
Port Number:
389
Directory Manager DN:
cn=Directory Manager
Password:
<dir mgr password>
Password (again):
<dir mgr password>
