====== Pass-Trough authentication with SASL ====== ===== Presentation ===== Pass-Trough authentication is a mechanism used by some LDAP directories to delegate authentication operations (BIND) to other backends. It should be distinguished from the external authentication methods, that are managed by the LDAP client to authenticate on a trusted source and then connect to the directory. Pass-Trough authentication is purely transparent for LDAP clients, as they send standard authentication operations to the LDAP directory, which will then handle the delegation and forward the response to the client, as the authentication was done locally. A real world use case is the coexistence between OpenLDAP and Active Directory: on choice can be to let the password into AD, and configure a pass-trough authentication between OpenLDAP and AD. With this setup, authentications done on the OpenLDPA part will use the AD password. -- This mail was generated by DokuWiki at http://ltb-project.org/wiki/ _______________________________________________ ltb-changes mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ltb-project.org/listinfo/ltb-changes
