3. Reference the new security domain in the Management Interface.

Check Contents

Log on to the OS of the JBoss server with OS permissions that allow access to JBoss.
Using the relevant OS commands and syntax, cd to the <JBOSS_HOME>/bin/ folder.
Run the jboss-cli script.
Connect to the server and authenticate.

Run the following command:

For standalone servers:
"ls /socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/remote-destination-outbound-socket-binding=ldap_connection"

For managed domain installations:
"ls /socket-binding-group=<PROFILE>/remote-destination-outbound-socket-binding="

The default port for secure LDAP is 636.

If 636 or secure LDAP protocol is not utilized, this is a finding.
