An SSL certificate is required by Microsoft for eControl and other third-party applications to be allowed to change Active Directory passwords. The SSL certificate ensures all communication from eControl to the Active Directory Domain Controller are encrypted. The SSL certificate ensures the password is encrypted and transmitted securely – not in clear text.
