Disabling secure communication between IBM Spectrum Control and the LDAP repository

You can disable the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol between IBM Spectrum® Control and the LDAP repository at any time using the IBM Spectrum Control GUI.

  1. Log in to the IBM Spectrum Control GUI as an LDAP user with Administrator role.
  2. In the menu bar, go to Settings > User Management.
  3. On the User Management page, click Authentication Configuration.
  4. On the Authentication Configuration page, click Advanced Configuration Options.
    Depending on the LDAP user account that you used to log into the IBM Spectrum Control GUI, you might have to explicitly log into the Liberty Admin Center as the Common User or the file-based user.
  5. On the Server Config page, click LDAP User Registry.
  6. Change the value of the Ldap ssl enabled field from true to false.
  7. Change the value of the Port field to the LDAP server port that listens for non-secure communications.
    The typical value is 389. Depending on your LDAP server configuration, you can specify a different port. If you do not know which port to use, contact your LDAP server administrator.
  8. Click Save and log out of the Liberty Admin Center.
  9. On the Authentication Configuration page, click Cancel.
