Limitation When Configuring Connections to Active Directory in Application Mode (ADAM) (30221, 29837)

SASL-based binds using Windows generic security services are not supported by ADAM. When the Policy Server is connected to an ADAM user store it will use simple LDAP binds instead of SASL-based LDAP binds.

Important! Simple LDAP binds are not secure. We strongly recommend using SSL-based LDAP connectivity for secure communication with ADAM.
