I need to configure SSL through Active Directory. I searched a lot, but could not find a worthy record on how to do this. Please, if you know some good resources about this, let me know. Thanks!
It sounds simple - but I had a lot of problems getting reliable SSL connections working in our environment. The article was about ADAM, but is applicable to AD. In our environment, I could not install domain-related services, such as cert-server, and not act as domain-admin.

You can enable LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) by installing a properly formatted certificate either from a Microsoft Certificate Authority (CA) or from a non-Microsoft certification authority, as recommended in this article.

The absolute fastest way to install SSL in AD is to download MS Certificate Services. Once this is installed, all domain controllers will automatically request a new certificate and renew themselves ...
