Hi experts,<br />
<br />
I have been trying to enable secure ldap on a 2003R2 server over the past couple of days and have gotten nowhere.<br />
<br />
There seems to be very little in the way of instructional articles on the web or even at Microsoft.<br />
The knowledge base article 247078 states that<br />
&lt;quote&gt;<br />
Install an Enterprise Certificate Authority on a Windows 2000 server. All Domain Controllers in the forest will automatically enroll for and install the appropriate certificate.<br />
<br />
When you install an Enterprise Certificate Authority, all Domain Controllers automatically request a certificate and can support LDAP using SSL port 636.<br />
&lt;end quote&gt;<br />
<br />
I have installed certificate services on a test 2003R2 server that is a DC for the test domain and either there is more to installing certificate services and a CA or the article is wrong.<br />
<br />
Can anybody point me in the right direction here as to the prerequisites for secure ldap operation ?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
