Tutorial

Companies and Trustcenter offer a Public Key Infrastructure PKI, over which public keys can be called up. Thus provide the possible to encrypt for a person, without key exchanging before. With abylon LDAP you can access these certificate listings.

1. Open In abylon CERTMANAGER with the Add LDAP the dialog abylon LDAP open.
2. LDAP-Server In this dialog some data are to be entered to the LDAP server and the Searchbase. Alternatively you can select one of the given LDAP servers (e.g. TC Trustcenter or D-Trust).
3. Searchbase Enter the looking for name or email and press Search.

You can use Wildcards (Stars *), but however the LDAP server breaks off with a exceeding of a maximum number of found entries with an error message. In this case you must limit the search criterion further.
4. Result In the upper list all search results are indicated. Select the desired certificates (for multiselecting press STRG key) and transfer these with Accept to abylon CERTMANAGER.
5. Local saving The selected entries find you now in the certificate data base LDAP (Online certificates). You can use these now for encryption. The public key remains to you for the next encryption, so that a rescan on the LDAP server is not necessary. For an off-line availability copy the LDAP certificate from the data base LDAP into the data base MY.

If you encrypt files with the public key from an other person (certificate), just the receiver can decrypt the files. You need the private key to decrypt the files.
