QUESTION

• Does EFT Server's LDAP authentication support SSL encrypted sessions?
• What is the behavior of the SSL feature when configuring EFT to pull users from an LDAP Server?
• Does EFT act as a client and accept the LDAP server's SSL certificate (key) automatically?

ANSWER

Yes, a SSL encrypted session to the LDAP server requires that the server have a certificate, regardless of the protocol underneath SSL (FTP, HTTP, LDAP, etc.) EFT Server, acting as a client, is configured to accept any certificate presented by the LDAP server to which the auth manager is pointing.
