SSL uses security certificates to control, encrypt, and authenticate communications.
Ensure that the security certificate directory /opt/novell/tsdrv/keys is appropriately protected. The installation program sets secure file permissions for this directory.
The Driver Shim and the Identity Manager engine communicate through SSL using a certificate created in the Identity Vault and retrieved by the driver shim during the installation process. For more information on this certificate and how to renew or install third-party certificates, refer to the Identity Manager Administration Guide.
The Embedded Remote Loader web interface uses a dynamically generated, self-signed certificate for SSL communication. The details of this certificate are as follows:
