TLS support for LDAP driver

Blog by Rasmus Stahl

With the Introduction of the LDAP U3.0 driver Uniface offers native connectivity to LDAP and Microsoft’s Active Directory using TLS connections.

LDAP is the latest delivery from an ongoing initiative to elevate all Uniface network traffic to use TLS, and will help protect applications from man in the middle attacks, as described in: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4520412/2020-ldap-channel-binding-and-ldap-signing-requirements-for-windows. LDAP over TLS has also been a popular request from customers.

To Use LDAP over TLS you will need to update the driver settings in your ASN file and setup correct server verification.

More detailed information is available in the Uniface documentation. See LDAP over TLS.
