> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Bug

>
> The {{LDAPLoginModule}} uses the {{authentication}} property to authenticate
> to the LDAP server, but also use it to check user password (step 2). If
> {{authentication}} is set to "none" for exemple, it will validate any
> password provided by user.
> In
> https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/master/jaas/modules/src/main/java/org/apache/karaf/jaas/modules/ldap/LDAPLoginModule.java#L124,
> {{authentication}} should be set to "simple".
