Re: [389-users] Using JNDI and 389DS

[Chun Tat David Chu]

I have written Java code that does what you described.  I think you should
break up your problem.

1) Install your server certificate on the 389 DS first.  You should consult
the following website
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8...

2) Write your Java application to use JNDI to talk with 389 DS via SSL.
You should follow the tutorial from the website.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/ldap/security/ssl.html

An important thing to note is you need to create a Java keystore.  The Java
keystore needs to be accessible by your application.  You can pass in a
Java property that specifies the Java keystore.  The JNDI Tutorial above
should give you some hint.

Good luck,
