ldap startls

LDAP StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) is a method of securing communication between LDAP clients and servers. It is used to encrypt data transmitted over LDAP connections, preventing eavesdropping, tampering, and other security threats.

StartTLS is initiated by the client and negotiated with the server to establish a secure connection. Once the connection is established, all data transmitted between the client and server is encrypted using TLS/SSL.

StartTLS is commonly used with applications that require secure authentication and access control, such as email clients and web browsers. It is an important security measure for protecting sensitive data and preventing unauthorized access.
