Description
Description:
Currently, when setting Secure LDAP (LDAPS), CA Certificate field is a normal input text field
Best solution (for usability and security perspectives) is to change this to a file upload, so the you can upload CA certificate to the server.
Steps to reproduce:
- Administration -> Settings -> LDAP
- Change the encryption to StartTLS or LDAPS
Expected behavior:
File upload instead of input field.
Server Setup Information:
- Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 3.1.0-develop
- Operating System: all

Research direction
Start at Administration → Settings → LDAP and trace how the CA Certificate setting is rendered and persisted for StartTLS and LDAPS. Review the existing certificate handling and related tests, if present; done means administrators can select a CA certificate file instead of entering certificate text.
