SSL Considerations

If you are configuring the external administrator store connection over SSL, consider the following:

• The directory server must be configured to communicate over SSL.

  Note: For more information about configuring the directory server for SSL, see your vendor–specific documentation.

• If you installed the Administrative UI using the stand–alone option, the Administrative UI is installed with an embedded certificate database.
• If you installed the Administrative UI to an existing application server infrastructure, implement a certificate database as required by your application server.

  Note: For more information about implementing a certificate database, see your vendor–specific documentation.

• Be sure to enter an SSL–enabled port when entering directory connection information. If you do not enter an SSL–enabled port, the Administrative Authentication wizard becomes unresponsive.
