Connection Type
Preferred type of connection between the controller and the LDAP server. The
default order of connection type is:
1. ldap-s
2. start-tls
3. clear-text
The controller first tries to contact the LDAP server using the preferred connection
type, and only attempts to use a lower-priority connection type if the first attempt is
not successful.
NOTE: If you select clear-text as the preferred connection type, you must also
enable the allow-cleartext option.
