Kiran Ayyagari commented on DIRSERVER-1817:
-------------------------------------------
We already allow the said feature to accept DN or a simple name.
But currently the attribute name is not configurable, it is treated as "uid"
always.
> The PLAIN SASL bind does expect a DN in the authcid field. We should allow
> the definition of an AT

> Key: DIRSERVER-1817
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1817
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M15
> Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1.1
>
>
> Right now, we are expecting the user to provide a full DN in the authcid part
> of the SASL PLAIN bind. It would be very convenient to allow the user to
> provide a simple name, and to configure the server to look at a specific AT
> to fetch the entry.
> For instance, we can decide that the uid Attribute is the one to look for
> when searching the authcid. We will then do a search for (uid=<authcid>) and
> check the userPassword from the found entry.
> Another option : we could ad dn: for DN values, and u: for plain text values
> (with a default to u:).
> The AttributeType to use should be configurable.
