Hi,

RTFM.  I found the solution.

Authenticating with the SmartDirectory (LDAP) Server using Certificates

The SmartCenter Server and its modules can be issued special certificates in
order to allow them to communicate with SmartDirectory (LDAP) server. The
proper Encryption attributes need to be set in the SmartDirectory (LDAP)
Server Properties window, and in addition, the following procedure needs to
take place:

1    Use the  dbedit command to manually set a flag in the  objects_5_0.C
file for every desired SmartDirectory (LDAP) server, as well as
Replications. Set the  ldap_use_cert_auth attribute to  true for every entry
in the  fields  attribute of the Account Unit.

2    Log on to SmartDashboard and add a Certificate Authority (CA) object
for the CA that will issue the certificate for each Check Point object that
uses SmartDirectory (LDAP) certificate based authentication. For more
information, see the PKI chapter in the VPN guide.

3    Add a certificate for all necessary network objects (such as VPN,
Policy Server, or Firewall) that requires certificate-based SmartDirectory
(LDAP) connections. In the VPN page, add a certificate issued by the CA
defined above. For more information, see the PKI chapter in the VPN guide.

4    In the Users and Administrators tab of the Objects tree, check the new
configuration by opening a connection on one of the Account Units configured
to use certificate authentication.
