LDAP auth with StartTLS Will Holtz  2015-06-24 15:21

Is LDAP authentication on port 389 with StartTLS currently supported by Labkey? I would like to use such a configuration as ldaps:// is deprecated in favor of Start TLS [RFC2830], but my attempts are failing.

thanks,

Hi Will,

It doesn't appear that we support TLS with LDAP at the moment. Let me confirm whether this is in the works or not.

Regards,

Jon

Hi Will,

At this time we do not have any plans to add StartTLS with LDAP since it is something that isn't in demand for by other clients.

Checking back through our previous forum questions, we did have someone ask this question before back in 2005 - https://www.labkey.org/announcements/home/CPAS/Forum/thread.view?rowId=41

However, the code pointers in that old forum post are outdated and the functionality has been moved into LdapAuthenticationManager.connectToLdap(). So if you're interested in modifying the code further to have it work with TLS, you could give this a try.

Regards,

Jon

Hi Jon,

Thanks for checking. I guess I'll stick with ldaps:// for now.
