- Internal LDAP Database Red Hat Certificate System employs Red Hat Directory Server (RHDS) as its internal database for storing information such as certificates, requests, users, roles, ACLs, as well as other miscellaneous internal information. Certificate System communicates with the internal LDAP database either with a password, or securely by means of SSL authentication. If certificate-based authentication is required between a Certificate System instance and Directory Server, it is important to follow instruction to set up trust between these two entities. Proper pkispawn options will also be needed for installing such Certificate System instance.
