LDAP Publisher

Introduction

EJBCA Publishers

Slide Deck: EJBCA Publishers

Overview: This part of the lab configures an LDAP publisher. If you wish to publish to an LDAP directory or Active directory instance (separate publisher), these are the types of information that would be required to setting up the publisher.

NOTE: the lab environment does not have a running LDAP directory, but setting up this publisher is needed when configuring the Multi-group publisher which is coming up.
