Exception

Deployers that use LDAP authentication for systems are strongly urged to use TLS connectivity between client hosts and LDAP servers to prevent eavesdroppers on the network from reading the authentication attempts as they are made. The certificates on the LDAP server must be trusted by each client.

The tasks in the security role do not adjust the LDAP configuration since this could disrupt future authentication attempts.
