Any suggestions for configuring with sldap? I have seen esg117647 - but are the steps in here really necessary about configuring certificates etc? Also the distinguished name used to bind the server with is a service account and is in a different OU to where the users sit will this be an problem? Networker LDAP setup has a "user search path" so you can tell it where the users are - Avamar doesnt seem to have this thanks Abid

I believe Avamar searches from the root.  We've never encountered any issues with it not finding accounts regardless of in which OU they reside.  Hopefully someone else (or support) can assist you with the secure LDAP question.  We just use normal LDAP.
