source-controllable self-enforcing extended attribute list for sql server
-- Permanent copy of schema extended properties
-- In a format suitable for easy source control and hand-editing.
-- All the properties are prefixed and only those will be added/updated/deleted by this script
-- At the bottom you'll find a commented-out `select` for generating the

Enable LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) for Microsoft Active Directory servers.

Enable LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) for Microsoft Active Directory servers

Tip

Microsoft active directory servers by default provide LDAP connections over unencrypted connections (boo!).

The steps below will create a new self signed certificate appropriate for use with and thus enabling LDAPS for an AD server. Of course the "self-signed" portion of this guide can be swapped out with a real vendor purchased certificate if required.

Steps have been tested successfully with Windows Server 2012R2, but should work with Windows Server 2008 without modification. Requires a working OpenSSL install (ideally Linux/OSX) and (obviously) a Windows Active Directory server.
