35.2. Configuring the Directory Server Component
To configure DS automatically using the
ldapmodify
utility:
- Use
ldapmodify
to make the configuration changes for you:ldapmodify -h localhost -p 389 -D 'cn=directory manager' -W << EOF dn: cn=encryption,cn=config changeType: modify replace: sslVersionMin sslVersionMin: TLS1.2 EOF
- Restart DS to load the new configuration:
# systemctl restart dirsrv@EXAMPLE-COM.service
To configure Directory Server (DS) manually:
- Stop DS:
# systemctl stop dirsrv@EXAMPLE-COM.service
- Open the
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-COM/dse.ldif
file, and modify thecn=encryption,cn=config
entry to set the following:sslVersionMin: TLS1.2
- Start DS:
# systemctl start dirsrv@EXAMPLE-COM.service
Important
Make sure you shut down the server first before editing the
dse.ldif
file manually. DS reads this file only once at startup, therefore any manual changes while the server is running will be lost if the configuration changes through LDAP. Editing the dse.ldif
file is recommended only for changes to attributes which cannot be altered dynamically.
