General Information
- To provide appropriate security and functionality a feature is available which makes it easy to connect to CampusAD using the secure LDAP/S binding.
- This feature is necessary to meet Information Assurance cyber security standards and requirements: unsigned network traffic is susceptible to replay and Man-in-the-Middle attacks.

How to Use This Feature
- Resources (applications, system accounts, devices, etc.) that require manual connection settings to authenticate using LDAP should be created that use this configuration. Please check your documentation or vendor for non- windows device O/S, service, and applications.

Connection Source
- Step 1: Update your resource to use (ldaps.campusad.msu.edu) and enable the SSL setting where applicable
- This is a secure setting and credentials are encrypted instead of using clear text
- It is load balanced and highly-available
- Step 2: Remove any static mappings to CampusAD for LDAP communication (static ip address or servername)

Future
