[389-users] Re: Admin Gateway over https

Thanks for the confirmation regarding secure connections and the clarification regarding dsgw. I will focus on other alternatives. I would be interested in exploring cli tools and the API. Any resources to which you could point me would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Yes, because you have:    client -> https -> ldaps    So you have to protect each stage of the communication.    >  I edited dsgw-httpd.conf until I was able to connect to the gateway  > via https, but the setup was pretty buggy.

While I understand your desire, the dsgw software hasn't been touched  by us in a long time - and I highly suspect it won't be supported for  much longer. Sadly though, as far as a "web tool" we've had some delays  building this up but it is on the way!    Instead for 1.4.x we plan to release better cli tools with much more  functionality that should be able to do everything you want.     If you want to know more about these tools and our API for server  interaction, I'm happy to provide you resources about this to help you  and get it fit for your requirements,    Hope that helps,      > _______________________________________________  > 389-users mailing list -- 389-users@lists.fedoraproject.org  > To unsubscribe send an email to 389-users-leave@lists.fedoraproject.o  > rg  --   Thanks,    William Brown  _______________________________________________  389-users mailing list -- 389-users@lists.fedoraproject.org  To unsubscribe send an email to 389-users-leave@lists.fedoraproject.org
