Securing ldap search from CUPC/jabber

[aalejo]

Hi

Somebody knows if is posible to secure the ldap client search on CUPC/jabber client.

Cisco sugestion is to create an ldap "read only" user but still a user on the directory and also all directory data moves unencrypted between the jabber/CUPC and Ldap directory.

Hi,

Yes CUPC does support LDAPS

Also from the Windows Jabber administration guide

-----------------------------------------------------

By default, Cisco Jabber for Windows encrypts all data over the network, including directory authentication

and query data. The UseSecureConnection parameter enables you to specify whether or not to use a secure

connection and encrypt all data over the network.

If required, you can use SSL for connections to your directory. The UseSSL parameter enables you to use

SSL connections. You can use SSL with a Global Catalog server, Domain Controller server, or other LDAP

server. However, the SSL connection certificate must exist in the Microsoft Windows certificate store. In a

Microsoft Windows domain, the SSL connection certificate is typically present in the certificate store on the

client computer.
