Applies to:

Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition - Version 6.0 to 11.1.1.5.0 [Release 6.0 to 11gR1]
Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition - Version 11.1.1.7.0 to 11.1.1.7.0 [Release 11gR1]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
 

Goal

Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) allows LDAP clients to authenticate to the server using an SSL client certificate instead of the standard bind DN and password combination.  When a client provides its certificate to the server,  the server must map the information in that certificate to exactly one user entry in the directory. This mapping rules are configured in the configuration file
<server_instance>/alias/certmap.conf. This document details the certmap.conf format and available configuration options.
