How to Configure Tools to Use SSL

You cannot connect to a directory using SSL with the following tools:

• DXsearch
• DXmodify
• DXrename
• DXdelete

To work around this problem, follow these steps:

1. Create a new text file with the following name and location:

   DXHOME/config/ssld/dxldap.conf
   

2. Open the file in a text editor, and add the following text:

   TLS_CACERT  c:\program files \CA\Directory\dxserver\config\ssld\trusted.pem
   TLS_REQCERT never
   

3. Save and close the file.
4. Set an environment variable named LDAPCONF that points to the file you have just created.

   You should now be able to connect to the directory through SSL using the tools listed.
