Description
Specifies the security policy to apply to the LDAP server. Possible values are "always", "never" and "user".

Two connection pools are created in this case: one pool for handling secure connections, and another pool for unsecure connections. The parameters pool-initial-size, pool-max-size and pool-increment apply separately to each pool.
