Preferred connection type. The default order of connection
type is:

using the preferred connection type, and will only attempt
to use a lower-priority connection type if the first attempt
is not successful.
NOTE: You enable the allow-cleartext option before you
select clear-text as the preferred connection type. If you
set clear-text as the preferred connection type but do not
allow clear-text, the controller will only use ldap-s or
start-tls to contact the LDAP server. ldap-s

clear-text ldap-s
timeout <seconds>
Timeout period of a LDAP request, in seconds. 1-30 20 seconds
Usage Guidelines
You configure a server before you can add it to one or more server groups. You create a server group for a specific
type of authentication (see
"aaa server-group" on page 82 ).
