NimbostratusNewly setup F5 LTM unable to authenticate with AD
Hi all, I have a F5 LTM which is unable to authenticate with my AD (Win 2012 R2). Running tcpdump i see the below in the wireshark after the bind Request. I'm using port 389 for authentication which shouldn't need SSL/TLS. Does this mean I need to enable SSL/TLS on the domain controller ?

You server is configured to prohibit plain text authentication (so called "simple bind")
There are several options to avoid this problem:
1) Adjust server configuration to allow simple bind,
or
2) Setup SSL.
