To switch the LDAP browser to work on LDAPS, follow the steps below.

Prepare SSL Certificate

First of all, you need an SSL certificate for the LDAP broker. The CN of the SSL certificate must be the FQDN of the LDAP broker.

Copy the PFX file of the SSL certificate to the directory where the DualShield LDAP broker is installed, i.e. "C:\Program Files\Deepnet Ldap Broker"

Edit Configuration File 

Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Deepnet Ldap Broker\conf"

Open the file "local_cfg.json" in a text editor, e.g. Notepad++

In the "Server" section, make the following changes

ParameterOld ValueNew Value
port389636
ldapsfalsetrue
keystorePathldaps.pfxThe PFX file that you have prepared, e.g. fakestop.com.pfx
keysstorePasswordpasswordThe password of the PFX file

Save the changes

Finally, restart the "DualShield LDAP Broker" service
