+<p><strong>LDAP</strong> supports <strong>SSL</strong>, it's called <strong>LDAPS</strong>, and it uses a dedicated port. As of today, and since 2000, <strong>LDAPS</strong> is deprecated and <strong>StartTLS</strong> should be used.</p>
+<p>That being said, many servers accept <strong>LDAPS</strong>, and the Apache LDAP API supports it.</p>

+<p>The <strong>SSL</strong> protocol ensures that data are transmitted encrypted, and guarantees that the data being received are valid. Nobody can capture those data and read them, assuming the ciphers being used are strong enough.</p>
+<p>With <strong>SSL</strong>, a dialog between the client and the server occurs, and when both part agree on the cipher to use, then all subsequent data is encrypted. This dialog may include a mutual validation. </p>

+<p>There are many version that can be used, but the idea is to use tha most recent one, if the server supports it. In any case, as we depend on <strong>Java</strong>, we are also limited by the supported version on the client side. Here are all the existing version, and their status :</p>
+<p>| SSL | Java 7 | Java 8 |
+| version | Client | Server | Client | Server |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 2.0 | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
+| 3.0 | Disabled | Disabled | N/A | N/A |
+| 3.1 (aka TLSv1) | Enabled | Enabled | Enabled | Enabled |
+| 3.2 (aka TLSv1.1 | Disabled | Enabled | Enabled | Enabled |
+| 3.3 (aka TLSv1.2) | Disabled | Enabled | Enabled | Enabled |</p>
