Detailinformation

Use the DFN-LDAP as an Address Book (optional)

 
DFN LDAP benutzen 1

You are trying to send an encrypted e-mail, and decide to look up the recipient in the DFN-PKI LDAP address book.

 
DFN LDAP benutzen 2

You specify that your search should be inside the ldap-DFN-PKI address book and you want to make an extended search.

 
DFN LDAP benutzen 3

Your search criterium is "RA Postfach RWTH" anywhere inside the "Common Name" field of the DFN-PKI user certificates.

 
DFN LDAP benutzen 4

You have found the recipient you are looking for, you now need to save them in your own contacts.

 
DFN LDAP benutzen 5

Please note the user added "(DFN)" part in the Name. This helps you distinguish your contact as one imported from the DFN-PKI LDAP address book, i.e. with a user certificate (and a public RSA Key associated to it).

 
DFN LDAP benutzen 6
 
DFN LDAP benutzen 7

You're back to wanting to send an encrypted e-mail, to the contact you previously explicitly found in the DFN-LDAP address book and saved as your "own" contact.

 
DFN LDAP benutzen 8

You need to search among your own "Contacts", because you can only send an encrypted e-mail to an "own" contact, choose the one you tagged with "(DFN)".

 
DFN LDAP benutzen 9

Choose to "encrypt".
