Hello Everyone,
I am a new system administrator and I don’t have much experience with LDAP.
Am I supposed to setup an AD LDS instance? Or am I connecting directly to active directory utilizing LDAP protocols?
Based on the examples they provide in the LDAP Guide for Openfire, it looks like I am just connecting directly to Active Directory utilizing LDAP protocol?
Since Openfire treats the LDAP directory as read-only, are there any reasons not to connect it directly to active directory?
I am struggling with understanding which default AD LDIF files I should import on the initial instance creation. Setting up of SASL encryption. Additionally, I am unsure how to synchronize user information between AD DS and AD LDS.
This is all very new to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
