Specifying a trusted CA certificate

If the TLS or SSL certificate that is issued by a corporate certificate authority (CA) is not trusted or known to the vRouter, the required certificate must be explicitly specified.

To specify this certificate, use the following command:

vyatta@vyatta# set resources service-users ldap example.com tls cacert /config/auth/ldap-ca.pem

Alternatively, to reduce the number of checks on the TLS or SSL LDAP server certificate, use the following command:

vyatta@vyatta# set resources service-users ldap example.com tls reqcert {never | allow | try | demand}

If no option is explicitly specified, the demand option is set by default.

Table 1. Variable definitions

allow

Requests and checks the certificate, if available. Tolerates bad server certificates.

try
