Markus,

  Two reasons:

1) We are working towards turning off non-SSL access to our Sun LDAP servers.

2) We ran into problems when talking to AD using Perl-LDAP/SASL without SSL. IIRC, we couldn't do a password change over a non-SSL port - AD spit back an error. Doing everything over SSL cleared up the problems.

But, yes, in most cases we could just use one or the other.

Craig,

you say you use SASL + SSL. As far as I know SASL/GSSAPI can do encryption too. What was the reason not to use SASL/GSSAPI with encryption. And example is AD, which can be accessed via SASL/GSSAPI with encryption.

Thanks
Markus

So my question is that is it pretty easy to enable Kerberos for SUN LDAP after installing SEAM? Or can SUN LDAP use other KDC as well?

We use Sun's LDAP server with PADL's GSSAPI plugin - we built our copy against MIT Kerberos 1.3.x and use MIT KDCs. I think the binary versions they sold previously also use MIT Kerberos.

We now have several processes that regularly use only GSSAPI/SASL over SSL to authenticate and communicate with LDAP. Works very well.

HTH,
Craig
