LDAPS Support for user authentication for Redgate SQL Monitor
LDAPS Support for user authentication for Redgate SQL Monitor . Now organization want to make the ldap communication to be more secure and moving to LDAPS communication . LDAP will be discontinued soon . When can this be implemented
Redgate Monitor uses LDAP for the AD authentication method and on any AD query we issue, we require 'signing' and don't use simple binding.
There aren't any plans to work on the current Active Directory authentication mechanism but you can use the OpenID Connect (OIDC) mechanism with ADFS to connect to your AD account. Support for OIDC was introduced in version 11.2 of SQL Monitor.
Please have a look at this article which talks a bit about OIDC compared to the existing AD auth functionality and goes over some of the security benefits of it and the Authenticating with OpenId Connect documentation page for more informaiton on enabling it.
