The Administrator will also have to determine the access rights: Anonymous, User's Credentials, or Service Account. The administrator may also be able to specify if SSL is required to be used. A useful tool for browsing the LDAP directory is found at http://www.ldapbrowser.com. The standard version, not the administrator version, browser can be used.

LDP has a less friendly user interface than the one provided by ldapbrowser.com. Once the LDAP browser is available, the LDAP directory can be examined for the different data needed by the PKI applications. 7.5 Domain Controller Certificates The local administrator should know how to obtain the certificates for the domain controller; they can typically be downloaded from an internal website. If this is not available, the certificates can also be located in the Windows workstation's certificate cache which can be examined using Internet Explorer. In Internet Explorer version 6 or 7, the cache can be accessed in IE by going to: Tools | Internet Options | Content | Certificates. Select the Intermediate Certification Authorities tab or the Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab. Find the certificate in the list; highlight it, and the click Export. For the format, choose Base-64 encoded X.509. Repeat this for each certificate that is needed. When finished, combine all the single text files into one text file, such as: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----MIIE1jCCA76gAwIBAgIQY6sV0KL3tIhBtlr4gHG85zANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBs ... l3DTbPe0mnIbTq0iWqKEaVne1vvaDt52iSpEQyevwgUcHD16rFy+sOnCaQ== -----END CERTIFICATE---------BEGIN CERTIFICATE----MIIE1zCCA7+gAwIBAgIQZWAEBZ+h+L5AKmbyl9hgSzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBn ... l3DTbPe0mnIbTq0iWqKEaVne1vvaDt52iSpEQyevwgUcHD16rFy+sOnCaQ== -----END CERTIFICATE----- Save this file and have it ready at install time.
