By default, the iFolder enterprise server is configured to communicate with the LDAP server via SSL. For most deployments, this setting should not be changed. If the LDAP server co-exists on the same server as the iFolder enterprise server, you can reconfigure to disable SSL, which increases the performance of LDAP authentications.
For information, see Configuring the iFolder Enterprise Server
in the Novell iFolder 3.7 Administration Guide.
