Applying LDAPs SSL Certificate for PSC on vSphere 6.5

Hi,

As we are evaluating vSphere 6.5, testing the LDAP(Secure) on PSC Identity Source Configuration Wizard.

Looks like with vSphere 6.5 (as a security enhancement), its mandatory to provide a SSL Certificate if we want to use Secure LDAP as Primary LDAP URL.

As I'm not sure how appropriate is the below procedure that I used (it worked though), please let me know if this sounds appropriate or having any better tool/procedure to do this?

What I did was:

1. Connect to our ldap server URL eg., ldap.testdomain.com:636, using OpenSSL,  and the copy the BEGIN and END Portion of the certificate thats shown as output.

2. Paste the BEGIN and END portion that we copied from step 1 above to a text file and Save the file as .pem file.

3. Add this .pem file on identity source configuration window under Provide a Certificate screen.

Regards,

Uman
