The NET domain LDAP service is a directory of UCF people. This service is only available to users who are on the UCF network. AD FS and Shibboleth are UCF's preferred authentication providers, but LDAP is available for NET domain joined servers and applications that do not support SAML.
LDAP connections should be defined based on a server's geographical location to avoid unintended site traversal. If your server is located at main campus or Lake Nona, use the 'Main Campus LDAP Address'. If your server is located at DataSite Orlando, UCF Downtown, or Rosen College use the 'DataSite Orlando LDAP Address'.
Resources connecting to the NET Domain Enterprise Directory using LDAP (especially for authentication) should use the "Secure port" whenever technically feasible. Use of LDAP may require information security risk assessment review.
