Unable to Decode DAP(X.519 Directory Access Protocol) messages using wireshark

0

Hi,

I have captured the DAP protocol messages in a file Dumpfile.pcap. I opened the file with Wireshark & used the following filter to filter DAP protocol messages:

tcp.srcport == 16602 || tcp.srcport == 16614 || tcp.dstport == 16602 || tcp.dstport == 16614

Where 16602 & 16614 are the TCP ports used for DAP protocol.

Then I went to wiresharks "Analyze" menu & selected the Option "Decode As". In this "Transport" TAB I have choosen TCP "both" ports & tried to select the "DAP" protocol. But there is no DAP protocol available. only LDAP was available.

Please suggest how can I decode DAP protocol messages using wireshark?

Additional Info: When I select the "Follow TCP stream" option in Analyze menu I was able to see contents of DAP query. But it is not clear.

The DAP dissector has a preference (Edit->Preferences->Protocols->OSI->X.500->DAP, yikes that was hard to find!) where you can set the TCP port used for this protocol. Setting that also has the advantage that the setting is persistent.
