Configure Your Windows Servers Using SSL

Perform the following steps if you are using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) communication:

1. Install the High Encryption Pack on the Active Directory Services (ADS) server you want to manage.
2. Install and configure a Certificate Authority (CA).
3. Set up ADS, the Certificate Authority, and CA Identity Manager on a single system, on a dual computer system, or on multiple computers.
4. Verify the C++ Connector Server service logon ID.

Note: SSL communication is not mandatory when using the Active Directory Services Connector. However, if you do not use SSL communication, you are not able to use the password management features of the Active Directory Services Connector.

The Active Directory Services Connector must be installed on a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 system.
