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 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 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.
