About the Enterprise Connector
The Enterprise Connector is a component that connects Ivanti EPMM 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.
The Ivanti EPMM 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.
The Enterprise Connector is not domain-specific and therefore every connector must be able to reach every LDAP server.
