SSL with NetStorage
Articles and Tips: qna

Q.
Is it possible to have SSL-enabled access to NetStorage? If so, how does one go about pointing the thing to the certificate? The only TID I found (on Novell's Technical Support Web Site) mentions the lack of finding a certificate in the particular error I'm getting but doesn't give any indication of how to put one in place, instead indicates turning on clear text passwords. Does this mean that it just isn't available at the moment?

Dear Nancy: NetStorage can be configured to use a specific certificate using the NSADMIN utility (http://your.server.edu/oneNet/nsadmin). We have it using a certificate signed by Thawte. This works well too. Just point your browser to https://locker.uky.edu (hint: NetStorage uses Apache, which uses KMOs).
