• Click Do Not Use SSL to have authentication performed using unencrypted clear text
instead of SSL encryption. This method is the least secure and automatically sets the Port
Number field to a default port number of 389.
• Click Use SSL in Trust All Mode to use SSL encryption for data transmission. All server
certificates will be trusted and automatically accepted by the DSView 3 software for
transmitting data. This SSL method provides medium security and automatically sets the
Port Number field to a default port number of 636.
This encryption mode is not recommended for wide area networks (WANs).
• Click Use SSL in Certificate-based Trust Mode to use SSL encryption for data
transmission. The DSView 3 software will approve the server and then the certificate
before transmitting data. This SSL method provides maximum security and automatically
sets the Port Number field to a default port number of 636.
