## LDAPS Server Connection

For the robot to be able to connect to the specified directory server via LDAPS, there are two options:

1. The robot's machine is joined to the targeted directory domain.
2. The eDirectory's SSL certificate is installed locally on the robot machine in a trusted certificate store and the directory server can be reached from the robot machine by its FQDN.
