Select this check box to use SSL when communicating with the LDAP server.
Ensure that SSL is also enabled on the LDAP server before selecting this
check box. If not selected, it might result in authentication and authorization
failures for XP Performance Advisor users.
By default, XP Performance Advisor supports the simple (clear-text password)
authentication mechanism with the LDAP server, wherein SSL is not enabled
for the LDAP server. To secure communications between XP Performance
Advisor and the LDAP server, enable SSL on the LDAP server.

Select this check-box if you want XP Performance Advisor to connect to the
LDAP server as anonymous for the purpose of user authentication.
If this mode is chosen, the User's DN, Password, and Confirm Password
text boxes are disabled.
An anonymous connection is established when logging into XP Performance
Advisor. The LDAP directory is searched (anonymously) to determine the
user's DN, and then authentication is attempted using the user's DN and
the supplied password.
