Authentication types

You can select an authentication type for the [Authentication used to connect to LDAP server:]

option and the [Authentication used to connect user to the LDAP server:] option. The

authentication types are described in the tables below.

NOTE

In LDAP "authentication" is called "bind".

Authentication type Description

None None means a simple bind to the server using plain text

credentials. A simple bind is the only binding mecha-

nism defined in the LDAP specification itself. None has a

high compatibility across LDAP server vendors.

WARNING: this authentication is NOT SECURE because

plain text credentials are used.

Possible usage: All server types, but this authentication

type is not recommended.

NoneAndServerBind This is the None authentication type combined with the

ServerBind optimisation.

WARNING: this authentication is NOT SECURE because

plain text credentials are used.

Possible usage: ActiveDirectory, but this authentication

type is not recommended.

NoneAndFastServerBind This is the None authentication type combined with

ServerBind and FastBind optimizations.

WARNING: this authentication is NOT SECURE because

plain text credentials are used.

LDAP servers do not allow anonymous access by de-

fault, or give a very restrictive access to the server.

Possible usage: All server types, but this authentication

type is not recommended.

AnonymousAndServerBind This is the Anonymous authentication type combined

with the ServerBind optimisation.

Possible usage: ActiveDirectory, but this authentication

type is not recommended.
