Re: how to use SSL

I need some help on setting up SSL to use with JNDI and accessing an LDAP server. Do I need a CA cert, client cert, server cert, a combination of those or none of them? Java docs on sun.com aren't clear on exactly what is needed. What stores do I put them in and what references do I need in my code?

To set up ssl on the server side you need a server certificate which you can generate yourself, a test certificate. The CA cert would then be generated by you as well.

When it comes to how to use it you can look at 3rd party providers, f.ex openssl, cryptix or others.
