Setting up a secure session with Linux LDAP Server

The LDAP session is setup with the Linux computer t4elnx.tools4ever.local2. To authenticate the session, the full distinguished name of the administrator root account is specified. The password of the account is encrypted. It is decrypted just before the UMRA script engine needs it to access the LDAP Server.

Figure 42: Script action to setup a secure LDAP session with the OpenLDAP Linux server.

The session is encrypted using SSL. When the action is executed, the LDAP session is initialized. The associated session data is stored in the variable specified for property Ldap session (default variable name: %LdapSession%). The variable is used in the subsequent script actions.
