SSL can be used in conjunction with the RC2 and RC4 encryption algorithms from
RSA. The encryption method selected for a particular connection is the result of a
negotiation between the client application and Directory Server.
SSL can also be used in conjuction with CRAM-MD5, which is a hashing
mechanism that guarantees that information has not been modified during
transmission.
Directory Server can have SSL-secured connections and non SSL connections
simultaneously.
For information about enabling SSL, refer to the Netscape Directory Server
Administrator's Guide.
