Testimonial: This software is just THE tool any Microsoft Active Directory Administrator needs. Invest a couple of hours on understanding how it works and safe weeks through out the year. Customer service is just amazing and they even help you to build your script if you get stuck. Superb!!! Fernando Mahamud IT Deputy Manager Somerville College http://www.some.ox.ac.uk read more...

Testing the certificate configuration

You can test the SSL configuration with the tool LDP.EXE, part of the Windows Support Tools from Microsoft Windows Server 2003. (Note: the LDP.EXE tool part of the Windows Support Tools from Microsoft Windows 2000 does not support SSL). When the Windows Support Tools for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 are installed, start the tool by entering LDP.EXE on the command prompt. Select menu option Connection, Connect…. Specify the connection settings and enable SSL.

When the SSL certificates are not installed successfully, the connection cannot be established.

When the SSL are correctly installed, the connection is established with the LDAP Server.

Figure 15: LDP.EXE successful connection setup using SSL.

When successfully configured, the UMRA software can communicate with the LDAP Server using SSL.
