Hello,

Does someone help me to check "how to identify LDAPS authentication through event viewer or any other application".

We have filter port 636 option using "netstat" but using this we can check only active LDAPS connection but I need to check older or recently disconnection connection as well as.

Thanks,
Loganathan.

    Hi,

    ADInsight is an LDAP (Light-weight Directory Access Protocol) real-time monitoring tool aimed at troubleshooting Active Directory client applications.
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/adinsight

    If you want to enable events for LDAP, we need to edit the registry .
    Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> NTDS -> Diagnostics. Note: Set '15 Field Engineering' to '5'. This enables Expensive and Inefficient LDAP calls to be logged in Event Viewer.
    For more information ,you can refer to:
