Use this preinstallation checklist to prepare the computers for the secure LDAP gateway package.
Requirements
-
The secure LDAP gateway package must be installed on a Windows computer that has the Windows File System agent installed.
-
Port 81 must be open on the client computer that is running the LDAP gateway service.
Make Sure the Active Directory is Reachable from the Client/Proxy Computer
Make sure the Active Directory is reachable from the client/proxy computer (that is, you must be able to ping the Active Directory from the client/proxy computer).
Make Sure That the Proper SSL Certificate is Installed and Configured
Make sure the proper SSL certificate is installed and configured for LDAP on the client/proxy computer by using the Microsoft Ldp utility (an LDAP client query utility). For more information about Ldp, see the Microsoft Ldp website.
-
Launch the Microsoft Ldp utility on the client/proxy computer as follows:
-
Click Start, and then click Run.
-
Enter ldp and then click OK.
The Ldp utility appears.
-
-
From the Connections menu, click Connect.
The Connect dialog box appears.
-
Enter the following information:
-
Server: Enter the name of the external domain server (for example, computer.domain.com).
-
Port: Enter 636 as the port number for the external domain server.
-
SSL: Select this option to check for the proper SSL certificate.
-
-
Click OK.
If properly configured for LDAP, the external domain server details will be displayed. If not configured for use with LDAP, an error message will appear, indicating that a connection cannot be made using this feature.
