Attribute

LDAPValidateServerCertificate (LDAPVSC)

Purpose

Determines whether the driver validates the certificate sent by the server when TLS/SSL encryption is enabled for connections to the LDAP server (LDAPEncryptionMethod=1). When TLS/SSL encryption is used, the server's certificate must be issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Allowing the driver to trust any certificate, even if it is not issued by a trusted CA, can be useful in test environments, as it eliminates the need to configure truststore information on each client.

Valid values

0 | 1

Behavior

If set to 1, the driver validates the certificate that is sent by the LDAP server. Any certificate from the server must be issued by a trusted CA in the truststore file.

If set to 0, the driver does not validate the certificate that is sent by the LDAP server. The driver ignores any truststore information that is specified by the LDAP Trust Store option.
