NodeJS Authentication using LDAPS

OL Connect Professional
1

Does ppNode / NodeJS support authentication using LDAPS? My organization requires this. The default “Enable Authentication” checkbox in Workflow Preferences turns on LDAP, but my Domain Controller fails the authentication because it requires LDAPS on port 636, and the authentication request from Workflow is LDAP on port 389.

Some web searches show that LDAPS can be supported through the ldapjs client module, which I see is installed… but I don’t have enough experience with this to manually edit it to support LDAPS.

Has anyone else succesfully configured NodeJS in OL Connect Workflow to authenticate using LDAPS?

Hello @TGREER,

The OL Connect Workflow NodeJS service does not support authentication using the LDAPS protocol.

We are happy to share more information on this topic but for that I would like to recommend you to submit a ticket via our support portal.

I went through support already. I know LDAPS isn’t currently supported. Until it is, I am unable to use any NodeJS-based workflows. That’s a major setback!

Since NodeJS itself, through the ldapjs client library (included in the Connect installation) DOES support LDAPS, I was hoping someone in the user community had already gone down this road and would be willing to provide some pointers.
