Figure 3.6 Proposed Setup for 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 42, Managing X.509 Certification
(page 807).
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 it can also be used for mail, DHCP, and DNS data.
Find details about LDAP and its configuration with YaST in Chapter 36, LDAP—A
Directory Service (page 667).
TIP: Resetting the Service Configuration to Defaults
Restore the defaults by clicking Change > Reset to Defaults. This discards any
changes made.
