How to configure LDAPS, LDAP over SSL, using CA Certificate Service on Domain Controller in Windows Server 2016

This post is to provide an instruction on how to set up LDAPS (LDAP over SSL) on Domain Controller using single-tier CA hierachy. Reasons for Enabling LDAPS By default, LDAP communications between client and server applications are not encrypted. This means that it would be possible to use a network monitoring device or software and view the communications traveling between LDAP client and server computers. This is especially problematic when an LDAP simple bind is used because credentials (username and password) is passed over the network unencrypted. This could quickly lead to the compromise of credentials.  Reasons for enabling Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) also known as LDAPS include: Some applications authenticate with Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) through simple BIND. As simple BIND exposes the users’ credentials in clear text, use of Kerberos is preferred. If simp...

What is Loopback - localhost address?

The local loopback mechnism is useful for testing software during development, independently of any networking configurations which means no hardware accsociated with it not physically connected to network. What is Loopback Loopback is a communication channel with only one endpoint.  TCP/IP  networks specify a loopback that allows  client   software  to communicate with server software on the same computer.  Localhost - Loopback address localhost is a hostname indicating this computer and used to access the network services running on the host via Loopback network interface. On most computer systems, localhost resolves to the IP address 127.0.0.1 in IPv4 loopback address, and to the IP address ::1 in IPv6. How 127.0.0.1 Works TCP/IP application programs generate message with IP addressess for intended recipients and TCP/IP recognizes 127.0.0.1 as a special IP address which the protocol checks before sending it and re-routes back to the receivin...
