Technote (troubleshooting)
Problem(Abstract)
There are two minor inaccuracies in the Configuring LDAP or Active Directory topic that is part of the section about secure communications in the Administration Guide for Netcool/Impact 5.1.1.
Cause
Steps 2e and 2f are misleading. You only need to select Centrally Managed if you want to encrypt all LDAP communications.
The navigation path described in step 3 is incorrect.
Resolving the problem
The text for both steps needs to be amended as follows:

Incorrect
e. If all LDAP communications should be encrypted, select Require SSL communications. If users authenticate to a Microsoft Active Directory Server, select this to enable password changes and creating users from the administrative console.
f. Select Centrally managed.
Correct
