General Updates

Security Concerns-Encryption for passwords submitting to the server-Utilizing SSL/https for access-Using LDAPS for authentication

LDAPS & SSL

• We are in the process of implementing SSL certificates on SAFARI Montage servers to ensure logins are secured with SSL (or https)

• Authentication requests from the SAFARI Montage server to district LDAP servers will attempt to connect via LDAPS only

LDAPS & SSL

• Each IU will receive an email with instructions about setting up their certs.

• When you receive this email, please contact Ben Carter. He will be available to walk you through the process.
