      Elevate Healthcare strongly recommends configuring LearningSpace with a secure LDAP (LDAPS) capable LDAP server for increased security. As additional security measures, we recommend that the organization’s IT implement outbound firewall rules to prevent the LearningSpace server from initiating connections to unauthorized external ports or addresses.

   3. Click Add.

      The LDAP Login and Synchronization Settings will become available once a directory server is added.

3. Click Test LDAP Connection at every directory server before continuing.
   The system will inform you about a successful or failed connection.
