Configure the DXtools to Use SSL

By default, you cannot connect to a directory using SSL with the following tools:

None of these tools can see the DSA's trusted.pem file and therefore are unable to trust the self-signed certificate.

To configure the DXtools to use SSL

  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.
