To allow users to access Adeptia Connect over secured LDAP, you need to configure Secured LDAP in Adeptia Connect.

• Administrative rights in Adeptia Connect to enable LDAP Authentication and Authorization.
• Adeptia Connect is certified with Windows Active Directory and Open LDAP server.
• TLSv1.2 should be enabled on LDAP Server.
  

Configuring secured LDAP

1. Import the LDAP Server certificate in AIS cacert (/Serverkernel/etc/truststore/cacerts) using below command.
   
   keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias <<ANY_ALIAS_NAME>> -file "<<CERTIFICATE_FILE_PATH>>" -keystore "<<AIS_CACERT_PATH>>"
   
   For example,
   keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias ldapssl -file "C:\Users\administrator.ADEPTIA\Desktop\adeptia.org.cer" -keystore "C:\Program Files\AdeptiaConnect-3.3\ConnectServer\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\etc\truststore\cacerts"
   
   1. After importing the LDAP Server certificate, you will be prompted to enter the keystore password. The default password is changeit.
   2. Enter yes, when prompted to trust the certificate.
      
      
2. Follow the below steps to configure LDAP properties.
