Hi,

I am attempting to connect to a Windows Active Directory LDAP server over SSL (with port 636) using LDP. However, when I perform the "Connect..." command from the File menu, I get a connection error. However, if I perform the "Bind..." command from the File menu, it works and I am able to successfully bind as a user in the domain.

Does this even make sense that this would happen? Are there any suggestions as to a way to fix it so I can first "Connect".

Thanks and I appreciate any help!
