Access to Active Directory is performed via AD’s LDAP mode. When using multiple AD domains, LDAP

access may be configured to go through the Global Catalog. Port 3268 is the default non-SSL/TLS setting,

while port 3269 is used for SSL/TLS connections by default. More general information about LDAP searches

via the Global Catalog may be found at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc728188(v=ws.10).aspx
