Using a Certificate File for an LDAP or AD Service
- Viktoryia Varapayeva (Deactivated)
When you test the connection to the server, your NetMRI-to-LDAP server connections (or for Active Directory connections) allow for loading a current SSL certificate from a .PEM file. See the section NetMRI Security Settings for the process of adding SSL certificates to NetMRI. This certificate automatically appears in the authentication server’s Certificate drop-down menu after being loaded into NetMRI.
An LDAP connection test shows the following:

If you set the Encryption menu to None, this option remains unavailable, and authentication tests will show a blank certPath value in the test output.
