LDAP Servers

In order to make use of a certificate, it must be distributed to directories where it is made available to other users. SSH Secure Shell for Workstations supports certificate and certificate revocation lists (CRL) distribution using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a de facto standard. This enables interoperability with third party directory servers using the LDAP standard.

For more information on LDAP, see section Directory Services.

The LDAP Servers list displays the available LDAP servers.

Figure : Adding a new LDAP server entry.

To edit an LDAP server entry, doubleclick the appropriate line in the list. To add or delete LDAP server entries, use the buttons located above the LDAP server list:

• New

  Click the New button (the leftmost button on the top right hand side of the LDAP server list) to add a new LDAP server to the list. Type in the address of the server using URL format (for example ldap://ldap.host.com:389). The keyboard shortcut for the New button is the Ins key.

• Delete

  Select an unwanted LDAP server entry from the list and then click the Delete button (the rightmost button on the top right hand side of the LDAP server list) to remove the server definition. The keyboard shortcut for the Delete button is the Delete key.
