Hi All,

ARS Env: ARS 6.3 Patch 20, HPUX 11i, Oracle 9i Rel 2
LDAP Env: Novell eDirectory
Plug-ins Used: Remedy Supplied ARDBC/AREA plugins.

Our time is up, short lived, as the corporate standard is now to switch all
applications integrated with eDirectory over to using SSL (LDAPS).

On investigation, all of the Remedy material I have reviewed (incl. recent
posts) state the Remedy's plug-ins are based on the the Netscape SDK
(4.79?) and there is worked involved in getting an old version of Netscape
installed and generating the cert7.db file...so now for the query...

Our eDirectory team have issued use with the 4 files referred two as public
key certificates (<X> CA-PublicKeyCert.der, <X> - dsasal02-<X>.der etc)
which I am sure are eDirectory standard issue files for SSL.

with the following request:

"import the attached public key certificates into your application.
The certificates are also available in B64 format"

Before I go back to them, I want to be sure of my footing.

Can I use these files with Remedy? when I configure SSL if not presumably
the cert7 format is required.

Is it normal practice for others eDirectory sites to mix and match the
method by which certs are generated e.g. cert7.db v's the above files?

Would it be unreasonable of me to ask the edirectory team to generate the
file? Would B54 format help me?

Any guidance appreciated.

TIA.
Kevin
