About the Enterprise Connector

The Enterprise Connector is a component that connects MobileIron Core to corporate directories, such as Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP, by means of secure HTTPS connections. Multiple connectors can be used for scaling and redundancy purposes. Requests go to all configured Connectors, but only one responds to the request. Should one fail, all the requests are handled by another working Connector.

Note The Following:  

The Enterprise Connector is not domain-specific and therefore every connector must be able to reach every LDAP server.

The MobileIron Connector does not support certificate-based authentication. This means that once you enable Connector service, the "Upload X509 Certificate" option in LDAP preferences is not available.
