How can I encrypt the AD connector?
The AD connector supports either LDAP or GC (Global Catalog Server). To configure this it is sufficient to edit the path to the security group or the base DN accordingly. This string is parsed when saving to the database and the appropriate entries for the connector are generated from it.
Example AD connector WITHOUT encryption:
AD search:
LDAP://company.c4b.de/CN=XPhoneUser,OU=Users,OU=Munich,DC=company,DC=c4b,DC=en
GC Search:
GC://company.c4b.de/CN=XPhoneUser,OU=Users,OU=Munich,DC=company,DC=c4b,DC=en
To establish an encrypted connection, add the port for the encrypted connection. For AD access this is port 636 for Global Catalog Server (GC) port 3269 is used.
Example AD connector WITH encryption:
AD search:
LDAP://company.c4b.de:636/CN=XPhoneUser,OU=Users,OU=Munich,DC=company,DC=c4b,DC=en
GC Search:
GC://company.c4b.com:3269/CN=XPhoneUser,OU=Users,OU=Munich,DC=company,DC=c4b,DC=en
Requirement is the V8.0.236 SR1.
