Hi,

Have you tried to check the server event log to see if you have additional details there that could help to better understand the exact problem before trying to solve it. From a search it seems you can use SSL with LDAP. Do you know if this is what your company is using?

According to your description, I guess there are something wrong with your webconfig settings.

I suggest you could check you could connect to the server or the domain firstly and check you have a sufficient permissions account in Active Directory.

More details, you could refer to follow link:

Hi,

I don't think you need to change the active directory with ssl for to use LDAPS.

In my opinion, if you use AD over SSL, you will use Ldaps.
