Greetings to everyone,

  we want an authenticated secure channel b/w the client and the LDAP server,
  however we don't have the certificate setup for the
  client(no client side authentication) but just a DN and password for the
  client to authenticate itself to the server. The LDAP server is setup
  for the SSL connection.

So is it allowed/safe to initialize an SSL connection using:
ldapssl_client_init()
ldapssl_init()


 and then use the simple authentication using:
   ldap_simple_bind_s(DN/Password)

If this is allowed, does the DN/password of the client go over the encrypted channel b/w the client and the server? And does all the
communication happen in encrypted form when this LDAP handle is used?



thanks for all your support.

Best Regards,
Bandi
