Macromedia live cycle 7.2 Manual

Installing and Configuring LiveCycle for JBoss

 Configuring LiveCycle products with LDAPS     69

Use the following procedure as a guideline when configuring User Management to support 
authentication using LDAPS.

➤

1. Enable SSL on the directory server. For details, see the documentation provided by your directory 

vendor.

2. Export a client certificate from the directory server.

3. Use the keytool program to import the client certificate file into the default JVM certificate store. The 

procedure for this varies depending on your JVM and client install paths. For example, if you are using 
JDK 1.4.2, from a command prompt, type the following code:

keytool -import -file client_certificate -alias myalias -keystore
jdk142_08/jre/lib/security/cacerts

When prompted, enter the password (for Java, the default password is 

changeit

). You will receive a 

message stating that the certificate was imported successfully.

4. Enable SSL in User Management. To access the User Management settings, select Settings > User 

Management in the Administrator pages. When configuring the directory settings, select Yes for the 
SSL property, and change the Port property accordingly. The default port number is 636.

If you experience problems when using SSL, use an LDAP browser to check whether it can access the LDAP 
system when using SSL. If the LDAP browser cannot access the LDAP system, the issue is related to the 
configuration of your certificate and application server. If the LDAP browser can access the LDAP system, 
User Management is not configured properly.
