Directory
servers are commonly used as centralized repositories of identities within
an organization. As such, the server acts as an ideal location to
store user certificates in enterprises that use certificate encryption.
Directory servers help you locate certificates from network servers,
including LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers.
After you locate a certificate, you can add it to your list of trusted
identities so that you don’t have to look it up again. By developing
a storage area for trusted certificates, you or a member of your
workgroup can facilitate the use of encryption in the workgroup.
For more information about directory servers, see Digital Signature User Guide for Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader (PDF)
at www.adobe.com/go/learn_acr_security_en.
