FreeRADIUS - LDAP: Use ldaps:// in address field

[jensseh]

Hi all,

I would like to use LDAPS to connect to our LDAP server within freeradius on our pfsense. However, it is not possible to type 'ldaps://ldap.domain.extension' in the address field in Services > FreeRADIUS > LDAP on our pfSense. The following error is thrown when I try to save that address via the GUI:
"The following input errors were detected:
- The 'Server Address' field for LDAP Server 1 must contain a valid FQDN or IP address."

Whenever I customize the '/usr/local/etc/raddb/mods-enabled/ldap' file via the pfSense shell and use "server = ldaps://ldap.domain.extension" and I reload the radiusd service it works when I verify the connection with radtest.

The problem with that approach is that whenever I customize a setting in Services > FreeRADIUS > LDAP, this file resets the server address to "ldap.domain.extension".

Is there something that I am doing wrong? How do other people connect via ldaps:// connection string? Simply checking the TLS box in the LDAP settings on pfsense doesn't do the trick.

Thank you for your answer(s) in advance!

Kind regards,
Jens
