Script action: Setup LDAP session

The LDAP session is setup with the Active Directory domain controller king.tools4ever.local3. To authenticate the session, the full distinguished name of an administrator account is specified.

The session is encrypted using SSL. This is secure and required in order to (re)set passwords of Active Directory user accounts. See Microsoft's knowledge base article KB269190 for more information.

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.
