We've been using LDAP for some time now and are trying to implement secure communications between our apps and the LDAP server. I'm a little confused over SSL and SASL. Am I correct in assuming SSL is purely a certificate-based means of secure communications? Can I use SASL to perform secure communications without having to specify certificates, keys, etc? By authenticating securely, is all subsequent communication between my app and the server also secure?
Basically I just want to have my app come up, authenticate with the LDAP server without sending the username/password in clear text, and then be able to perform queries. Any information you can provide would be appreciated.
