Updating the topology registry - PingAuthorize - 9.1

Server instance listener configuration

• Provides information that is needed to trust the TLS certificates that instances in the topology present.
• The server instance listener configuration must include the server certificate, which is defined as the certificate at the head of the chain. This version must be the multi-line, PEM-formatted representation of the certificate. You can use dsconfig to import the certificate from a file, as shown in the following example.

  bin/dsconfig set-server-instance-listener-prop \
    --instance-name ds1 \
    --listener-name ldap-listener-mirrored-config \
    --set server-ldap-port:636 \
    --set connection-security:ssl \
    --set 'listener-certificate>/ca/ds1-cert.pem'

  Note:

  The less-than operator > in the final line indicates that the value is read from a file rather than provided directly. In addition, you might not need to enclose the property name and path within single straight quotes to prevent the shell from interpreting the less-than symbol as an attempt to redirect input.

Server instance configuration

• Provides information about options for communicating with those instances.
• Update the server instance configuration object to reflect the new methods that are available for communication with the instance. For example, the preferred-security property identifies the mechanism by which other instances in the topology attempt to communicate with the instance.

The following example code sets the LDAPS and HTTPS ports, indicates that StartTLS support is enabled, and instructs other instances to use SSL (LDAPS) when communicating with the instance.

dsconfig set-server-instance-prop \
  --instance-name ds1 \
  --set ldaps-port:636 \
  --set https-port:443 \
  --set preferred-security:ssl \
  --set start-tls-enabled:true
