I seem to be misunderstanding the general security model around ldap
directory connections. I read in the wikipedia article on ldap that
use of both ldaps and port 663 are deprecated.
That is correct - however, there are
many, many clients that still
support ldaps, many of which also do not support startTLS.
Are there any pages on the Fedora DS wiki or elsewhere that describe
good practice for safe connections?
It really depends on the client. If the client
supports startTLS, I
encourage you to use it.
