How do I add a certificate to my NuGenesis 9 SDMS server for securing LDAP authentication? - WKB59907

OBJECTIVE or GOAL

To add a certificate to SDMS for LDAP.

ENVIRONMENT

NuGenesis 9 SDMS

PROCEDURE

1. Obtain a copy of the LDAP server's public key certificate. The common name on the certificate (the "Subject" or "Issued To" name) must match the name as typed into the LDAP configuration in NuGenesis
2. Copy the certificate file or files to the NuGenesis SDMS servers
3. Double-click each file to view the certificate properties
4. Click "Install certificate"
5. Set the Store Location to Local Machine
6. Select "Place all certificates in the following store"
7. Click Browse and select Trusted Root Certification Authorities
8. Click OK
9. Click Next and Finish
10. Restart SDMS Administrator if it is open

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

SDMS downloads the contents of the trusted root certificate authorties store when it processes an LDAP connection with TLS. It savesthe certificates into one file, CACerts.cer, in the Drive:\Program Files (x86)\Waters\NGSDMS\Common Files folder. The LDAP libraries use this file when authenticating an LDAP connection.
