There are several methods you can use to export your certificate from an LDAP server in a Windows or Linux environment. The method you choose depends on your platform, the LDAP directory you are using, and the LDAP server. Normally, documentation regarding implementation and maintenance of an LDAP server is provided by the vendor of that LDAP service software. Typically, the vendor documentation includes instructions for exporting an LDAP server certificate. The following methods provide some examples of exporting certificates.
Note: The CA certificate must be marked as “trusted” in the
certificate database. It must be a valid, signed certificate that has not expired.
You must export one of the following certificates.
- The certificate of the certificate authority (CA) that issues the server’s certificate.
- If the CAs are organized in a hierarchy, the certificate of any of the CAs in the hierarchy.
- The certificate of the LDAP server.
