- Whether you perform step 14, Optional: Select the SSL enabled
option if you want to use Secure Sockets Layer communications with
the LDAP server, depends on your LDAP configuration. If you have configured
your LDAP server to be accessible only through SSL, then step 14 is
necessary for WebSphere Application Server to communicate with the
LDAP server. Else, the communication occurs over the default non-SSL
LDAP port.
