provides encryption of data and transport of X.509v3 public-key certificates and<br />

revocation lists. The server may be configured to run with or without the SSL<br />

support. When the server is configured to support SSL (accepting connections<br />

over a secure port - defaults to 636), it still accepts connections from clients that<br />

choose not to use SSL (these clients still specify the standard unsecure port -<br />

defaults to 389). The LDAP either flows directly over TCP/IP (using the standard<br />

sockets interfaces) or over the SSL.<br />

11.5.1 Authentication<br />

The following authentication options are supported:<br />

• No authentication<br />

• Simple authentication (password)<br />

• X.509v3 public-key certificate at the SSL<br />

Note: Kerberos authentication is not supported.<br />

11.6 Installation<br />

The Stand-alone LDAP Directory is a component of the Base Operating System<br />

for <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong>; therefore, installation is done using standard installp facilities. In this<br />

release, there are no other BOS components that have dependencies on LDAP<br />

so users have the option of installing LDAP or not, depending on their<br />

requirements.<br />

11.6.1 Software Prerequisites<br />

The web-based interface for administration of the <strong>AIX</strong> Stand-alone LDAP<br />

Directory server requires a web server to be present, located with the directory<br />

server. Only the Netscape Fasttrack Web server has been tested, but any other<br />

web server that supports HTML 3.0/3.2 should work.<br />

DB2 Single-User (<strong>Version</strong> 3) is automatically shipped with the directory server.<br />

DB2 is considered an install prereq. on the server system. If a supported version<br />

of DB2 has been previously installed, the prereq. requirement will be satisfied.<br />

Otherwise, the Single-User version is installed with the directory server (as a<br />

separate instance of DB2). The supported versions of DB2 are:<br />

• DB2 <strong>Version</strong> 2.1.1 and above when packaged with any of the following<br />

products:<br />

– DB2 Single-User<br />

– DB2 Common Server<br />

– DB2 Parallel Edition<br />

– DB2 Universal Database<br />

– IBM Database Server<br />

11.7 Administrative Interface<br />

Most of the administration can be performed through a graphical user interface<br />

accessed through a web browser. The features of the interface and additional<br />

command line utilities are described below.<br />
