Use the General page of the Configuration Management tab to view database and directory information, enable publishing certificates to the directory, enable logging and tracing, and to specify default values for distinguished name (DN) components.
You can view or configure the following parameters:
Allows you to automatically store certificates in the directory when they are issued, and automatically delete them when revoked. You can choose either SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or non-SSL for the network connection to the directory. Choosing SSL provides a secure connection between Oracle Certificate Authority server and the directory.
By default, users who are authenticated by SSL or Oracle9iAS Single Sign-On can automatically issue, revoke, or renew their own certificates. You can disable this feature by unchecking Enable SSL Authentication or Enable SSO Authentication.
Allows you to enable logging or tracing. Oracle Certificate Authority server logs error information for all components it manages. By default, logging is enabled.
Choose Enable Logging to write system events and error messages to the Certificate Authority log table.
Choose Enable Tracing to record debugging messages to ORACLE_HOME/oca/logs/ocm_trace.log for Oracle Support. This information is not intended for administrator use.
If most of the DNs specified in enrollment requests have identical components (except the unique identifier component), then you can specify them here. Then manual enrollment request form fields generated by Oracle Certificate Authority will prepopulate with these default components, which users can overwrite if necessary. All fields are optional.
Displays the database connect string used to connect to the Oracle Certificate Authority repository. This field is read-only.
Displays directory host machine, listener port, and the bind DN that has privileges on the directory host port (the Oracle Certificate Authority LDAP agent that publishes users' certificates to Oracle Internet Directory). All fields are read-only.
