Enable LDAPS/port 636 for AD authentication in Jira 8.0.2

[AMC Web Team]

I was able to find the following under Directory Configuration Summary under JIRA user management settings:

   "ldap.referral": "false"

    "ldap.secure": "false"

    "ldap.url": "ldaps://ad-ldap.amc.edu:636"

How can I enable LDAP secure to use port 636 for accessing JIRA? I found a couple articles but they are referring to older versions of JIRA and we're running 8.0.2.

Did you have a look at what Nic mentioned in: How do I get Jira working with LDAPS port 636

esp. Step3, "You may now change 'URL' to use LDAP over SSL (i.e. ldaps://<HOSTNAME>:636/) and use the 'Secure SSL' option when connecting your application to your directory server."

Hope that works for you as well :)
