LDAPS Authentication and Connection

The steps in the LDAPS authentication and connection sequence are:

  1. The directory client initiates LDAPS connection.
  2. The directory server sends the X.509 SSL server certificate that it has received from a certificate authority (CA).
  3. The client checks the certificate against its trust certificate store. If it matches, the certificate is trusted.
  4. The client proceeds with establishing the SSL connection.
  5. When the SSL connection is up, the client sends a bind DN and password to the server to establish the LDAP connection.
  6. The server authenticates the client and establishes the LDAP over SSL connection.
  7. 
    

    NOTE: The SRC software does not support certificate authentication for directory clients.
