How secure is LDAPS?

LDAP authentication is not secure on its own. A passive eavesdropper could learn your LDAP password by listening in on traffic in flight, so using SSL/TLS encryption is highly recommended.

How does LDAPS authentication work?

In short, a client sends a request for information stored within an LDAP database along with the user's credentials to an LDAP server. The LDAP server then authenticates the credentials submitted by the user against their core user identity, which is stored in the LDAP database.

Is LDAPS enabled by default on Active Directory?

Currently by default LDAP traffic (without SSL/TLS) is unsigned and unencrypted making it vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and eavesdropping. After the patch or the windows update would be applied, LDAPS must be enabled with Active Directory.

Does LDAPS use TCP or UDP?
