Do i need to Open Port 636 on Domain controller for setting up LDAP
Hi
we use a cloud based program that we have subscribed. I have been told that I will be able synch with our active directory, so that staff can use the same password that they use at work to log into the web based program (single sign on)
To set up a LDAP functionality , the Cloud based service provider have asked me to open port 636 on IP 77.X.X.X pointing to IP address 10.x.x.x (Our domain controller)
Our Firewall is hosted outside of our network and I had asked the firewall team open this port for us. The firewall team have come back to and they say that they can open this port – but they say port 636 is for LDAP running over SSL and asking me if our LDAP server run on this port?
Are they referring to my domain controller that is on IP 10.x.x.x
If so do I need to install SSL on my Domain controller?
OR are they referring to the cloud based server which is on IP 77.X.X.X
They say normally the servers they have come across run on port 389 only (non-secure)
Please suggest and thanks in advance.

If so please can you post me some tutorials as how to set up SSL for LDAP.
The firewall team says normally the servers they have come across run on port 389 only (non-secure) - Wondering if i can go this way and asking to open port 389.
