Certificate-Mapping API

The Certificate-Mapping API consists of data structures and functions used to

manage certificate mapping.

When a user authenticates to a Netscapeserver bysending aclient certificate to the

server, the server uses information in the certificate to search the user directory for

the user’s entry.

You can configure some parts of this processby editing thefile

certmap.conf.This

file specifies:

• How the server searches the directory for the user’s entry

• Whether the server goes through an additional step of verifying that the user’s

certificate matches the certificate presented to the server

For more information about this file, see Chapter 2, “Configuration Files.”

You can also modify this “certificate to directory entry”processprogrammatically.

Netscape servers include a set of API functions (referred to here as the

Certificate-Mapping API functions) that allow you to control this process. You can

write your own functions to customize how certificate subject entries are found in

the directory.

To use this API, you need to have a copy of the Directory SDK. You can download

a copy of this SDK from this site:
