> LDAP SSL Certificates
> All LDAP protocol exchanges (between a Remote Console Switch and Active Directory servers) are secured by SSL. When the LDAP protocol is being protected by SSL, it is referred to as LDAPS (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol over SSL). Each LDAPS connection begins with a protocol handshake that triggers a security certificate transmission from the responding Active Directory server to the Remote Console Switch. Once received, the Remote Console Switch is responsible for verifying the certificate. In order to verify the certificate, the appliance must be configured with a copy of the root Certification Authority's (CA) certificate. Before this can be done, the certificate must first be generated.
