When the Encrypt SQL connection checkbox is checked DSS will:

DSS may communicate with LDAP servers for several reasons. These include authentication if LDAP

In the DSS Configuration Utility, when a feature is enabled that uses an LDAP server, the use of the SSL /
TLS protocols is enabled via a checkbox in the UI. Below is a screenshot of the UI to configure DSS for
LDAP address replication.
