QMC Directory Service Connector LDAPS

sntomjans — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to create a configurable LDAP directory service connector with secure ldap from a Azure active directory. With a self signed certificate. I have added this certificate to the Trusted certificates on the server.

I can connect with LDAP Admin but with qlik i get "Setting up connection failed; The server is not operational." i have tried the following urls

LDAP://sub.domain.com:636

LDAPS://sub.domain.com/

LDAP://sub.domain.com:636/DC=sub,DC=domain,DC=com

LDAPS://sub.domain.com/DC=sub,DC=domain,DC=com

LDAP://111.111.111.111:636/DC=sub,DC=domain,DC=com

LDAPS://111.111.111.111/DC=sub,DC=domain,DC=com

Below is the log file from de Directory server connector
