A systems integrator is installing a new access control system for a building. The new system will need to connect to the Company's AD server In order to validate current employees. Which of the following should the systems integrator configure to be the most secure?
Correct Answer: D
LDAPS (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Secure) is the most secure protocol to use for connecting to an Active Directory server, as it encrypts the communication between the client and the server using SSL/TLS. This prevents eavesdropping, tampering, or spoofing of the authentication and authorization data.
