Our friends at ProfiQ have posted an article on how to use OpenDJ and Red-Hat Certificate System for user certificate management. Here’s a short extract:
When you are running a Certificate Authority, the certificates have to be published typically in a LDAP directory which stores user information. The scenario would be:
- the company has a corporate LDAP directory running on OpenDJ which stores the information about the employee and client identity (and has to associate it respective user accounts with their digital certificates);
- RHCS is introduced to manage (and publish) digital certificates for the existing accounts.
