Notice that the Use eDirectory Certificates for HTTPS
Services option is selected. This option configures all of

For more information on the value this adds to your
network, see "Certificate
Planning and Implementation
2. Click Next.
1. In the FDN Admin Name with Context field, type
CN=admin.O=COMPANY
In this guide, the Admin User object is named admin (all
lowercase) to differentiate the name from the object itself
(Admin User), which is a standard eDirectory object and is
always capitalized in the documentation by convention.
The eDirectory Admin User object can have any name you
choose, although most administrators use "admin."
In this guide, all container objects, such as COMPANY, are
created in uppercase so they are more easily
distinguished in the illustrations and procedures.
2. In the Admin Password and Verify Admin Password fields,
specify the password for the eDirectory Admin User.
3. Click Next.
1. Change the server context to
OU=SERVERS.OU=LAB.O=COMPANY
2. Click Next.

2. Click Next.

Later in this guide you will configure this server as the SLP
