B is correct The administrator needs to the server's certificate in the local trust store of the machine where LDAP browser tool is being used. This will allow the client to trust the server's certificate and establish a secure connection.

Selected Answer: B

B. The administrator needs to install the server certificate into the local truststore. Explanation: The certificate errors indicate that the LDAP browser tool does not trust the certificate presented by the LDAP server. This often happens when: The certificate is self-signed or issued by an internal Certificate Authority (CA) not recognized by the system. The certificate chain is incomplete or missing in the local truststore.
