Buchan,

Thanks for the info. I want to ensure when I create the certificates that I'm doing it correctly. As follows:

LDAP Server IP: 192.168.10.1 Host name: node01 suffix: dc=S80,dc=com

Do I create a Certificate Common Name using "node01.S80.com" or "node01"

You use the name that you are going to use to connect to the host with. The real fqdn does not matter ....

So, if you are going to use:

URI ldaps://www.microsoft.com

then create a cert for www.microsoft.com

(of course, you should ensure that the name you use resolves to the IP)

Regard,s Buchan
