Microsoft intends to require LDAP singing by default in their upcoming January 2020 server security updates. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4520412/2020-ldap-channel-binding-and-ldap-si...

I think F5 should consider an RFE for LDAP request singing instead of using LDAP Query, as I believe the AD Auth is used in most APM authentication deployments against AD. Using LDAPS query will be a major reconfig in some cases..

I did some checking and it appears there is a doc update RFE. Apparently there has been some testing done with AD Query that was successful, HOWEVER more extensive testing has not been completed so I would not consider this technically supported yet. FYI.
