----------------------------------------
Closed
> There is a confusion between Anonymous access and Access to rootDSE
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRSERVER-1383
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1383
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.5.4
> Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
> Assignee: Emmanuel Lecharny
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.5.5
>
>
> The way the Anonymous authenticator is written makes it possible to be bound
> and read the rootDSE even if anonymous access is disabled on the server :
> public LdapPrincipal authenticate( BindOperationContext opContext )
> throws NamingException
> {
> // We only allow Anonymous binds if the service allows them _or_
> // if the user wants to bind on the rootDSE
> if ( getDirectoryService().isAllowAnonymousAccess() ||
> opContext.getDn().isEmpty() ) <=== here !!
> {
> return LdapPrincipal.ANONYMOUS;
> So an anonymous bind will always be accepted, as it will be identified as a
> bind to the rootDSE (the DN is empty when doing an anonymous bind).
> So you *always* have access to the server even if the alowedAnonymousAccess
> flag is set to false !!!
> Bad ...
