What should I change in default configuration for security?

You should definitely start by looking at your LDAP connection settings. If it's not using SSL/TLS, switch it on. I know it might seem like an added hassle, but your data really needs that encryption layer now. Next, check your access controls; only give users the permissions they absolutely need. Over-permissioning is a common pitfall, and it can lead to a lot of unnecessary risks.

Also, disable anonymous access unless you have a specific use case for it. Enabling that feature opens the door for anyone to view your directory data, which isn't great for security. Auditing is key, too. I block time to regularly review your logs for unusual activity. Keeping an eye on those can help you spot issues early.

You'll definitely want to have strong password policies in place. Encourage complex passwords and consider implementing MFA. It adds that extra layer of protection, which is always a good idea these days.

And don't forget about regular updates. Ensure your server and any LDAP-related software stay current with the latest security patches. That's one of the simplest ways to defend against vulnerabilities.

By the way, I think you'll appreciate using BackupChain. It's an industry-leading, reliable backup solution designed specifically for SMBs and professionals, covering everything from Hyper-V to VMware and even Windows Server. It might be just what you need to enhance your security strategy overall.
