Connect to Openldap server over SSL

[jdelimon]

Hello

I use the following code to connect to an openldap server
This works just fine

_deRoot = new DirectoryEntry
"LDAP://ws244501.test.c om/ou=People,dc=te st,dc=com�
�cn=admin,ou= People,dc=test, dc=com"
"secretje"
AuthenticationT ypes.ServerBin
)

object ob = _deRoot.NativeO bject

Now I want to be able to connect to it over SSL to make updates secure
Using the following code does not succeed (server not operational
I did import the root certificate
I have tried with different Authentication flags but no result
I also tried LDAP://ws244501.test.c om:636/... but this had also no result

_deRoot = new DirectoryEntry
"LDAP://ws244501.test.c om/ou=People,dc=te st,dc=com�
�cn=admin,ou= People,dc=test, dc=com"
"secretje"
AuthenticationT ypes.ServerBind |Authentication Types.SecureSoc ketsLaye
)

object ob = _deRoot.NativeO bject

Does anybody know how to sucessfully connect to an LDAP server over SSL
What authentication flags do I use, what LDAP path do I use

Thanks
Johan

You might want to post your question in a more focussed newsgroup,
such as:

* microsoft.publi c.adsi.general
* microsoft.publi c.active.direct ory.interfaces

or check out the Yahoo! group on the topic,
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ADSIANDDirectoryServices

which has a lot of folks who know all about how to bind in a secure
environment.

From what I know (very limited), you will definitely need to specify
port 636 (or whatever port you use for SSL LDAP) in your bind string,
and include at least the AuthenticationT ypes.SecureSock etsLayer flag -
that should do. (but as I said - I'm not a big expert in SSL
connectoins, especially not to OpenLDAP).
