[ZendTo] News — Microsoft enforcing LDAPS for AD servers

[Jules]

Microsoft are about to enforce the use of LDAPS (removing unencrypted 
LDAP) when checking user credentials against an AD server.

This needs a couple of minor changes to your ZendTo server.

I have written up some simple instructions here
https://zend.to/activedirectory.php
which certainly appear to work for me.

I strongly advise you make the changes and test the resulting service 
before Microsoft release the patch that enforces the need for this. It 
should cause no harm except to improve the security of communications 
between ZendTo and your AD server.

Any comments / problems / questions, please do let me know straightaway!

Cheers,

Jules
