Hi All

I read on Allaire's site some information about using CFLDAP with 
Microsoft Active Directory. I got it working, and I must say it is very 
cool. However, I by default all that data is moving across the network 
in clear text, so I want to use CFLDAP's SSL option to encrypt the 
traffic. Here is where the problem lies. When trying to use SSL in my 
CFLDAP tag, I get "error connecting with server".

In the Allaire article, they recommend that you install MS Certificate 
Services on your Acitive Directory server. This provides the server 
with a certificate that it can use to encrypt the traffic. So far so 
good. However, the CFLDAP tag, in order to use SSL, requires a path to 
a certificate database (usually cert7.db) to validate the authenticity 
of certificates. I can't make it work, and I am thinking that this is 
probably because the cert7.db file contains validation data for Verisign

and other public cert authorities, but DOESN'T contain validation data 
for my MS Cert Server's credentials.

My question is, if this is the problem, does anyone know how I can edit 
or create my own .db file to allow SSL? Or, does anyone have any other 
ideas? Anyone gotten SSL to work with CFLDAP while using 
privately-generated certificates?

Thanks in advance!
