ARTEMIS-2010 actively detect unauthenticated LDAP Bind requests
> LDAPLoginModule should actively detect unauthenticated Bind requests
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARTEMIS-2010
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-2010
> Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Justin Bertram
> Assignee: Justin Bertram
> Priority: Major
>
> The [LDAP spec|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4513#section-6.3.1] states:
> bq. Operational experience shows that clients can (and frequently do) misuse
> the unauthenticated authentication mechanism of the simple Bind method (see
> Section 5.1.2). For example, a client program might make a decision to grant
> access to non-directory information on the basis of successfully completing a
> Bind operation. LDAP server implementations may return a success response to
> an unauthenticated Bind request. This may erroneously leave the client with
> the impression that the server has successfully authenticated the identity
> represented by the distinguished name when in reality, an anonymous
> authorization state has been established. Clients that use the results from
> a simple Bind operation to make authorization decisions should actively
> detect unauthenticated Bind requests (by verifying that the supplied password
> is not empty) and react appropriately.
> Artemis falls into the this last category of "Clients that use the results
> from a simple Bind operation to make authorization decisions." Therefore the
> {{LDAPLoginModule}} should reject authentication attempts using empty or null
> passwords.
