Your system supports client authentication using SSL certificates. SSL client authentication is a form of two-factor authentication that can be used as an alternate or in addition to local password authentication. As a result, your system can be configured for SmartCards, such as Common Access Card (CAC) based authentication. CAC is a standard identification card for active duty members of the Uniformed Services, Selected Reserve, DOD civilian employees, and eligible contractor personnel.
Note: CAC is a form of client certificate authentication. Information on client certificate authentication applies to CAC.
Your system also supports LDAPS authentication. The SSL certificate for the LDAPS server must be uploaded into the trusted store. After uploading the SSL certificate, the aps process must be restarted (System Admin > Process Status > aps > Restart).
