Hi Walker, you're right, the DSpace LDAPAuthentication module doesn't support StartTLS. I agree that it's a serious omission and should be corrected. I filed a new Jira issue to keep track of this task: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1518 I also explained some details there and gave some pointers, so you may try to di it yourself. If you are successfull, please contribute your code so that we can test it and include it into future DSpace versions. Hilton's response is in this case inaccurate, because he's talking only about securing the connection of DSpace with the client, while you're asking about connection of DSpace with the LDAP server. Of course, both connections should be secured.
