Novell Certificate Server

• Novell Certificate Server, included with NetWare 6, integrates public key cryptography services into eDirectory and enables administrators to create, issue, and manage user and server certificates

• It helps network administrators meet the challenges of public key cryptography with the following functions:

• Creating an Organizational CA in the eDirectory tree that allows your CA server to internally issue user and server certificates without going to an external CA

• Storing key pairs in the eDirectory tree to provide security against unauthorized access and tampering yet make public keys available to all network entities

• Allowing centralized management of public key certificates by using ConsoleOne snap-ins
