Acrobat 9 Family of Products Security Feature User Guide Managing Certificate Trust and Trusted Identities Manually Configuring a Directory Server 39 Versions 7.x: VeriSign Internet Directory Service GeoTrust Directory Service IDtree Directory Service Version 8.x and 9x: VeriSign Internet Directory Service Home users may never need to use directory servers. In most cases, needed certificates will be sent directly to you or will be embedded in a signature. However, enterprise users will likely use directory servers when their administrator has set up an LDAP server as part of a public key infrastructure. This allows the administrator to make the certificates available to teams and workgroups while managing them from a central location. The administrator usually preconfigures user machines, tells the user how to configure the server manually, or sends the server configuration details in a file as described in "Migrating and Sharing Security Settings" on page 149. Figure 30 Digital ID Directory servers: Server list 3.5.1 Manually Configuring a Directory Server Some companies store employee digital ID certificates on a networked LDAP server. To access those certificates, add the server to the list of directories used to locate those IDs. Tip: In an ideal scenario, the server administrator supplies configuration details in a file as described in "Migrating and Sharing Security Settings" on page 149. To manually configure an identity directory: 1. Choose Advanced (Acrobat) or Document (Reader) > Security Settings. 2. Select Directory Servers in the left-hand list (Figure 30). 3. Choose New. 4. Configure the LDAP server settings in the Edit Directory Server dialog: Directory Name: An arbitrary directory name. Access Type: LDAP is the only type supported. Server Name: The server name.
