Connect Securely to Active Directory or LDAP

To create a secure connection between an Active Directory or LDAP server and the Secure Firewall Management Center (which we strongly recommend), you must perform all of the following tasks:

• Export the server's root certificate.

• Import the root certificate into the Secure Firewall Management Center as a trusted CA certificate (Objects > Object Management > PKI > Trusted CAs).

• Find the server's fully qualified name.

• Create the realm directory.

See one of the following tasks for more information.
