Online Update
If the Registration was successful, and updates are available, select whether to perform
a YaST online update. If there are any patched packages available on the servers,
download and install them now to fix known bugs or security issues. For detailed in-
structions see Chapter 1, YaST Online Update (↑Administration Guide). Directives on
how to perform an online update in the installed system are available at
"Keeping the System Up-to-date"
ministration Guide). This step is skipped if no updates are available or if you haven't
registered.
Services
After testing the Internet connection and downloading the first updates, a dialog opens
in which to enable and configure two important network services.
CA Management
The purpose of a CA (certificate authority) is to guarantee a trust relationship among
all network services communicating with each other. Without a CA, you can secure
server communications with SSL and TLS separately for each individual service.
By default, a CA is created and enabled during the installation. Find details about
the creation of a CA with YaST in Chapter 17, Managing X.509 Certification
(↑Security Guide).
OpenLDAP Server
You can run an LDAP service on your host to have a central facility manage a
range of configuration files. Typically, an LDAP server handles user account data,
but with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server it can also be used for mail, DHCP, and
