RE: [ActiveDir] Secure LDAP queries from the outside --> problem solved

[Thommes, Michael M.]

Thanks to all who responded!  The problem was solved by installing our local root CA cert on the “outside” computer since we are “rolling our own” and not using one of the well known CAs (Trusted Root Certification Authorities).   Mike Thommes   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thommes, Michael M.
