Configuring Access Through LDAPS to Service and Subscriber Data

You can secure connections between a router and an external directory that contains service data or subscriber data, and you can configure the router to use LDAPS when it connects to the same data source.

To use LDAPS to secure connections between a router and an external directory:

  1. Do one of the following:
    1. To configure service data, click Configure, expand Shared>SAE>LDAP, and then click Service Data.

      The Service Data pane appears.

    2. To configure subscriber data, click Configure, expand Shared>SAE>LDAP, and then click Subscriber Data.

      The Subscriber Data pane appears.

  2. Click Create.
  3. Select ldaps from the Secured LDAP Protocol list.
  4. In the router initialization script you specify the directory context.

    The /opt/UMC/sae/lib/poolPublisher.py script and the /opt/UMC/sae/lib/IorPublisher.py script provide examples of how to configure a directory context, For example, from the /opt/UMC/sae/lib/IorPublisher.py script:

    dirContext = Ssp.registry.get('ServiceDataSource.component').getContext()

    In addition, you can change the directory context.

    For information about how to use InitialDirContext class or the DirContext class to specify directory context, see:
