Deploying secure Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) connections is becoming more demanding as companies choose to build up and maintain a central repository. This paper details the steps on how to set up the Sun Open Net Environment (Sun ONE) and the Sun ONE Directory Server software so that it can be accessed securely from command line tools (for example, ldapadd, ldapmodify, or ldapsearch). More precisely, this paper describes how client and server authentication can be accomplished with the Sun ONE platform products.
