Hello @MohammedBahjat ,

 

For LDAPS you need to install your domain CA certificate to FortiGate. After installing the certificate, you need to select that certificate on the LDAP configuration page.

 

 

You can follow below document for LDAPS integration on FortiGate.

Hello @MohammedBahjat 

 

Please refer to this technical document; a section explains how to add a certificate to FortiGate first and then use it in LDAPs configuration. This KB is basically to allow LDAP users to change password at first logon but it contains the process for LDAPs
