Chapter 6. Using SSL/TLS with Red Hat Console
• Server Name. Enter the fully qualified hostname of the Directory Server as it is used in DNS and
reverse DNS lookups; for example, dir.example.com. The server name is critical for client-
side validation to work, which prevents man-in-the-middle attacks.
IMPORTANT
This must be a valid hostname that can be resolved correctly by all server clients, or
TLS/SSL will not work.
• Organization. Enter the legal name of the company or institution. Most CAs require this
information to be verified with legal documents such as a copy of a business license.
• Organizational Unit. Optional. Enter a descriptive name for the organization within the company.
• Locality. Optional. Enter the company's city name.
• State or Province. Enter the full name of the company's state or province (no abbreviations).
• Country. Select the two-character abbreviation for the country's name (ISO format). The country
code for the United States is US.
